Disable SELinux  Disable SELinux temporarily  sudo setenforce 0   Restart httpd service  service httpd restart   Disable SELinux persistently  after reboot   vi  etc selinux config   Add line and save  SELINUX disabled

I happened to run into this problem because of missing SELinux permissions  By default  SELinux only allowed apache httpd to bind to the following ports   80  81  443  488  8008  8009  8443  9000   So binding to my httpd conf-configured Listen 88 HTTP port and config d ssl conf-configured Listen 8445 TLS SSL port would fail with that default SELinux configuration   To fix my problem  I had to add ports 88 and 8445 to my system s SELinux configuration    Install semanage tools  sudo yum -y install policycoreutils-python Allow port 88 for httpd  sudo semanage port -a -t http port t -p tcp 88  Allow port 8445 for httpd  sudo semanage port -a -t http port t -p tcp 8445

I edited  etc selinux config  set SELINUX disabled  then reboot  then it worked  Alternately  you can run setenforce 0  you don t need reboot  but this is once used

At terminal run this command with root permission   sudo  etc init d apache2 start   You must be root for starting a webserver otherwise you would get similar error

Start with root user or with sudo  it works fine  here is sample output     ec2-user ip-172-31-12-164     service httpd start Starting httpd   13 Permission denied  make sock  could not bind to address      80  13 Permission denied  make sock  could not bind to address 0 0 0 0 80 no listening sockets available  shutting down Unable to open logs                                                               FAILED     ec2-user ip-172-31-12-164     sudo service httpd start Starting httpd                                                OK     ec2-user ip-172-31-12-164     sudo service httpd status httpd  pid  3077  is running

In Linux Centos 6 or higher  ports from 0 to 1024 are reserved for system use  you can force the system to bind to address any port lower than 1024 if you use root or privileged user   I installed Apache-2 4 from source with non-root user and I solved this problem by allowing port higher than 1024 ex 8080  and modified http conf file  chang Listen 80 to Listen 8080

First kill all the hanged instances of httpd  and then try restarting Apache   service httpd restart

With my centos 6 7 installation  not only did I have the problem starting httpd with root but also with xauth  getting  usr bin xauth  timeout in locking authority file   Xauthority with underlying permission denied errors     setenforce 0  Fixed both issues

User · Answer

Seems like you are running it not as  root   Only root can bind to this port  80    Check your configuration in the conf httpd conf file  Listen line and change the port to higher one

In my case  I tried to first use port 88 instead  and even then the httpd won t start   I used the below command  i e  modify instead of add  as suggested by one of users  and was able to run httpd   semanage port -a -t http port t -p tcp 88

User · Answer

This is an addition to the answer by Abdull somewhere in this thread    I had to modify instead of adding a port  semanage port -m -t http port t -p tcp  5000  because I get this error on adding the port  ValueError  Port tcp 5000 already defined

[apache] httpd Server not started: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:88
