Address Already in Use AH00072: make_sock could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 (Apache)

I tried to take a snapshot of my Plex server today and it timed out and was unresponsive. A hard reset was necessary. when I powered it back on I noticed that my httpd service wasn't running.

As you can see the apachectl configtest came back OK, so the syntax is correct. I've never run into this error before.

I attempted to look this up and a lot of it points to virtual hosts which I'm not using.

There is something already bound to port 80. That's why it isn't starting back up.

Yeah I'm looking for where it's located. Seems to be an issue with my httpd.conf binding to port 80 from any ip. I believe i need to specify.

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

Should get you an idea of what is running on that port.

So in my case there was lighttpd installed for some reason and it was attempting to bind to the same port which makes sense. I guess just by chance I had never run into this before. Weird

Have you checked your ssh logs and history to see if someone has logged in and was serving something odd?

Yeah, no one has logged in. I must've been testing something and forgot about it.
