Running a Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) Server 24
 Port: Specifies which TCP port to listen on but does not enable you to specify the IP
address. Port is generally not used more than once in the configuration.
 Listen: Enables you to specify both an IP address and a port to bind to. The IP address
can be in the form of a wildcard, and you can have multiple Listen statements in your
configuration file.
Generally, it is a good idea to use only one type of these directives to avoid confusion. Of the three,
Listen is the most flexible, so it is probably the one you want to use the most. A common error
when using Listen is to specify a port on all IP addresses (*:80) as well as that same port on a
specific IP address (1.2.3.4:80), which results in the error from make_sock.
Configuration errors relating to SSL (discussed later in this chapter) commonly result in Apache??™s
not starting properly. Make sure all key and certificate files exist and that they are in the proper
format (use openssl to examine them, as shown later in this chapter).
For other error messages, try doing a Web search to see if somebody else has encountered the
problem. In most cases, you can find a solution within the first few matches.
If you aren??™t getting enough information in the ErrorLog, you can configure it to log more information
using the LogLevel directive.
