Ubuntu error with apache: (98)Address already in use

August 4, 2023 by Tarik

netstat -ltnp | grep :80

This would return the following:

tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1047/apache2

Then run the following command:

sudo kill -9 1047

(1047 – pid no)

(the pid that appears on your particular instance.)

Restart Apache.

sudo service apache2 restart
