Use Apache with only net.lo?

For some reason, apache insists that I have to have a real network connection before running it locally. I am pretty sure I don't have that specified anywhere in httpd.conf or the vhosts.

Code: Select all

zachary@cubber ~ $ sudo apache2
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Is there any way around this?

/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf

Code: Select all

Listen *:8080

Have you tried

Code: Select all

Listen 127.0.0.1:8080

?

I can try. Though people from the outside world won't be able to see apache.

Try it without the "*:" part, just the port number. I don't think * even works there.

That was how it was originally when I was trying to figure out what to do. I then changed it to *:8080

How would they see it without a network connection anyways?

When I don't have a network connection, I want to be able to see it locally. When I do have an internet connection I want outsiders to also be able to see it.
