Nginx restart command failing after installing passenger

Question

I just installed passenger for nginx on my Ubuntu (8.04) box. Now "sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart" fails with the following errors:

Restarting nginx: [emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:3000 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:3000 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:3000 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:3000 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: bind() to 0.0.0.0:3000 failed (98: Address already in use)
[emerg]: still could not bind()
nginx.

I updated the ..init.d/nginx config to point to /opt/nginx after installing passenger, so that should all be fine.

If I kill the process with "sudo killall nginx" and try to start nginx, it works fine, but restart doesn't work.

Answer 1

In my case it was that apache was already installed and it was using the port; so i just did:

killall -9 apache2

Maybe in your case is another software, you can use this command to check what ports are listening petitions

netstat -a | egrep 'Proto|LISTEN'

Answer 2

Just ignore

nginx: [warn] conflicting server name "69.162.95.11" on 69.162.95.11:80, ignored

It's not error just warning about 69.162.95.11 is not shared IP About

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 69.162.95.14:80 failed (98: Address already in use) 

just restart Nginx will solve this issue if not then check none ssl port under tweak settings. The none ssl port should be 8081 after install. maestro 02-12-2011, 01:42 AM turn off port 80 from apache or ltespeed and turn on nginxcp as port 80
