Description Frodo Looijaard 2002-07-22 08:53:45 UTC 
`Listen IPADDR' works fine; `Listen HOSTNAME' not. It seems Apache tries to 
bind twice in this last case, and crashes without even writing something to the 
Errorlog (it seemt to try to write to stderr, though).

See the attached output of `truss -f -a -e -vall -rall -wall bin/apachectl 
start > /tmp/out.txt 2>&1'. Line 1774 and line 2989 try the same bind; the 
second one fails of course.

We use Solaris 2.8 (it also occurred for 2.0.36 in Solaris 
2.6); /etc/nsswitch.conf contains `hosts: files dns' and the problem occurs 
both when the hostname aplux11-a is in /etc/hosts and when it is not (it is 
always in DNS).

A fix for this was just committed and will be in the next release of Apache.

Thanks for the report, and thanks for using Apache!

Thanks especially to Mr. Holden, whose debugging and initial patch pointed
out the problem.
