Hi, I have installed apt-cacher in a Debian Lenny (fully updated) I also have apache on that server (if this matters), the problem is that at startup apt-cacher tries to start twice, the first one goes well, and the second is unable to bind the port (TCP 3142) because it is taken by the first run.
This is my /etc/default/apt-cacher ************ # set to 1 to start the daemon at boot time AUTOSTART=1 **************************** This is the output for ls /etc/rc2.d/ ************************** K08vmware S11klogd S20cpufreqd S20nfs-common S20sysstat S26network-manager-dispatcher S89cron S99rmnologin K20apt-cacher S12dbus S20cpufrequtils S20nvidia-kernel S24avahi-daemon S30gdm S90vmware S99stop-bootlogd README S16ssh S20cupsys S20openbsd-inetd S24dhcdbd S30system-tools-backends S91apache2 S05loadcpufreq S18portmap S20exim4 S20policycoreutils S24hal S89anacron S99fail2ban S10sysklogd S20acpid S20hotkey-setup S20polipo S26network-manager S89atd S99rc.local **************************** And this is the output for cat /var/log/boot | grep apt-cacher ************************** Wed May 21 09:03:05 2008: Starting Apt-Cacher: apt-cacher.

Wed May 21 09:03:39 2008: Unable to bind socket ( port 3142), /usr/sbin/apt-cacher not started. ************************** If I run ps auxw | grep apt-cacher I can see it running, and it is working and responding to requests, If I run /etc/init.d/apt-cacher restart it respond, that it cannot bind port 3142, Even though it is running, there is not /var/run/apt-cacher file If I kill the running apt-cacher instance (using kill) I can then start it using the /etc/init.d/apt-cacher start command, and then a /var/run/apt-cacher appears. I do not know who is starting the first instance or the second, If I rename the file /etc/rc2.d/S20apt-cacher to /etc/rc2.d/K20apt-cacher, it start just once, but who is starting that? my file /etc/rc.local is empty, you could say let it that way, because now is working, but I can not do a /etc/init.d/apt-cacher restart, and most of all, I want to understand what is going on, thanks in advance and hope I have not inserted too much garbage and yet enough info. -- Guillermo Garron "Linux IS user friendly...
