After install zend optimizer cant start apache2

[elenh]

Hello yesterday i installed via putty the zend optimizer (latest) for the needs of one custom addon.

The last last think do after the installation was to restart apache2.
i use debian server vhost and if i give in putty this command i get this message:

WPGX001:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Starting web server (apache2)...(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(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!
WPGX001:~#

After opening the httpd.conf file i find that is emtpy and zero size
Please help my site is since yesterday off.

You can not start the webserver if it is already running, you will need to stop it first.

Easiest is with the following command:

service httpd restart

i try your tip but works not:

WPGX001:~# service httpd restart
-bash: service: command not found
WPGX001:~#

Anyway i have try to restart apache but i still get failed message like my first post.

If that command doesn't work, then you will first need to issue a stop command, followed by a start.

The httpd.conf is empty and zero in size on ftp is not the problem?

Try rebooting or if that fails ask assistence from your host.
