I have an init.d script that starts two instances of Apache2. It's a front-end/back-end server setup. For testing the front-end Apache2 listens on port 82 and 1443 (SSL). The front end is a reverse proxy and proxies requests the back-end Apache2 on listening on ports 10082 and 11433.
During boot the back-end server starts, but the front-end server reports: Server on port 82/1443 Apache start for front/test_production: (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address xxx.97.158.169:1443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs Failed Yes, if I run the init.d script from the command line after boot both servers come up fine: sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start I updated the init.d script to run netstat -tlp before trying to start Apache2, but nothing is bound to port 1443.
