Error on Nginx start

[guidomallee]

I have installed nginx (and php-fpm) with custombuid 2.0. After the build I receive an error when trying to start nginx:

root@server1:/etc/nginx# /etc/init.d/nginx start
Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] bind() to MY_IP:80 failed (99: Cannot assign requested address)

Any clues? Thanks!

Please check if that IP is available in the output of ifconfig.

MY_IP is not stated in the output. A different IP address is. The IP address that is shown is the actual IP address of the server where MY_IP isn't, I realize now. Could this have anything to do with the fact that I'm on a VPS?

Please try:

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/startips
/etc/init.d/nginx start

If it does not help, please check the assigned IPs for users in DA control panel, they all must exist on the system.

That didn't work. I added the MY_IP IP address in the DirectAdmin Control Panel IP Management section. When I try to start nginx now I get the following output, where MY_REAL_IP is the IP assigned to my VPS and OTHER_IP the one that I first thought was my VPS IP (called MY_IP before):

Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] bind() to OTHER_IP:80 failed (98: Address already in use)

nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()

Please post the output of:

netstat -lnp | grep ':80'

It looks like apache is still running on ports 80 and 443.

 

[guidomallee]

root@server1:/# netstat -lnp | grep ':80'
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1177/httpd

root@server1:/# netstat -lnp | grep ':80'
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1177/httpd

Please try "./build nginx" again. That should help. Now you still have apache running on the system (you can kill/stop it manually and start nginx, but probably you missed some steps of nginx installation, that's why I recommended to run "./build nginx").

That did the job. Thanks!!
