Description Eric Brown 2004-12-27 17:48:31 UTC

set Listen to some ip that you don't own.. like
Listen 1.2.3.4:443

then use start.. it will say OK and pretend apache actually started but in fact it was unable to bind to that IP.

note that /etc/init.d/apache stop will also say OK even though nothing is actually running also

the apache binary won't return an exit status != 0 in this case, i.e. start-stop-daemon does not notice the error.

if anyone can provide a patch against apache, reopen this bug

Comment 2 Eric Brown 2005-03-02 18:19:59 UTC

I filed a bug upstream..
