Linode setup (Ubuntu 10.04 32bit) nginx won't start. 98: the address is already in use

Hi I have a little problem setting up linode with Railscast Ep instructions. # 335

My configuration for this server: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Disk Image 32bit

I can go this far:

Both of these functions run as expected.

apt-get -y update

apt-get -y install curl git-core python-software-properties

When I go to the nginx steps:

add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable

apt-get -y update

apt-get -y install nginx

Up to this point, everything is working fine.

Here: service nginx start

I get the following in response:

 * Starting nginx nginx
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] bind() to [::]:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()

I have tried to stop, restart and restart nginx, but I cannot change anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It seems that you have something else running or blocking this port. try running: sudo netstat -pan | grep ": 80"

which should give you a hint as to what is working there. It might be uwsgi / apache2 / tomcat etc. Perhaps there is a lot of work there.

EDIT:



Now I know what the problem is as I had it now on the debian server.

listen   80; ## listen for ipv4
listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

You have to comment out the first or second line (depending on whether you want to listen to ipv6 or ipv4. This was the problem I had.

I don't know if this solution is correct, but it worked for me after I commented out the line:

listen 80;


in / etc / nginx / sites-enabled / default
