On starting a virtual server for the first time, users areoccasionally confronted with the following warning:
WARN:Could not run virtual server on [host_ip:port] : Bind failed\\ : Cannot assign requested address
First check that the IP-address is valid for your machine. Type:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
and check [host_ip] shows up as a valid running IP address onyour machine.
Next, ensure you don't already have a web server that is running onport 80, e.g. a copy of Apache that might have been automaticallyinstalled on startup. To check this, type:
netstat -ant | grep LISTEN | egrep ':(80|www)'
If any output is displayed, this shows you already have a web serveron that address. Run a 'ps -aux' to find the process id, andkill off this web server (and also update your startup rc.dscripts to prevent starting this server automatically, check your OSmanual for details).
