[Freeipa-users] RHEL6.3 Install Problem with IPA

[JR Aquino]

I have a weird ipa-replica-install problem that I have not been able to work around.

I have managed to successfully reproduce and identify the root cause of my pain, but I don't understand why its coming up...

My install fails with:
Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80


After much head scratching, I finally was able to reproduce the problem:

If you start httpd as the install script does, it gives the following:

service httpd start
Starting httpd: Please enter password for "internal" token:

This process doesn't create the pidfile and essentially hangs httpd on 80 and 443

When the restart process is later called, you get the message that the installer is throwing:

service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
                                                                        [FAILED]


I've verified that the content of /etc/httpd/conf/password.conf is valid and will 'authenticate' if passed to that internal token prompt...

mod_nss is clearly the piece that is causing the prompting but I'm not sure what is breaking here or how I can work around it.

Can someone help?
