Topic: Apache service is not start automatically on windows server

[elavarasan]

Hi,

I have setup apache 2.2.17 on windows server 2008 R2 and I'm getting apache crash frequently so i need to login into server and manually start the apache services.

So What i did is that i have setup apache should be start after crash by automatically in the apache's property tab ( Recovery )

When apache got crash then the recovery is try to start the apache service but it's throwing the error says that (OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

I understand that even though apache got crash but in the background still apache process is running

So what i want is that when apache is got crash or apache automatically stop then kill all the apache process ids if anything and then start service automatically

Would appreciate that can anyone help me

Thanks,
Ela

1st problem is that mod_fcgid 2.3.6! If it crashes (which it has per your other post) it leaves a running process behind that holds onto port 80 and the error log. Only way to start Apache again is wait for that process to eventually die, or go into the task manager and kill it.

mod_fcgid/2.3.7 is out and has this problem fixed.
