[arch-general] mayday - new updates killed httpd - make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443

[David C. Rankin]

guys,

	I updated my test box and it checked out, then I updated my server and apache 
will not start. The error given is:

[03:58 nirvana:/etc/httpd/conf] # apachectl start
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443

	I have switched to a backup server so I'm not dead, but to have apache just not 
start was a bit disconcerting to say the least. This has got to be an issue with 
the kernel26 (2.6.34.2-1 -> 2.6.34.2-2) upgrade. My primary and backup servers 
are both Arch 64bit boxes with identical software installs. The box with the 
problem is an Opteron(tm) Processor 180 running on Tyan Tomcat S2865, the backup 
is a Phenom(tm) 9850 on an MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum.

	The fact that the software is identical and the primary can't make/bind to 
sockets anymore --- tells me what?

	Anyway, I need help. Any thoughts on what do check? I'll drop back to LTS and 
see how that goes and report back. Thanks.
