Exactly. The port is still in use - presumably by the previous instance of apache, which has not really died (Q: what happens if you now try to hit the site? Does the request succeed? With the old config?) It looks like your restart procedure is not stopping apache, even though it is trying to start a new process. I don't know how it works on XP, but on unix, a restart is quite different from a stop-start (restart = SIGHUP, stop-start = SIGKILL then start). So maybe try the following: 1) Get apache running nad verify site is up with config A 2) Make obvious change to config (eg, new docroot - B) 3) do restart 4) when you get the error as above, hit the site again - what version do you get (I bet A). 5) reboot etc to get back to 1) - now you should see version B. 6) switch config back to A 7) do a stop (not a restart) 8) is site up? (should not be - if it is, your stop process is bust) 9) do a start 10) what site do you get (should be A) Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. >this is > incredibly annoying because i'm doing all this work remotely, > so i have to reboot my system remotely each time i screw > something up, which is quite often. any body know a way around this? > > thanks, joshua > > This message is for the named person's use only.
