syslogd rotate troubles

Hello,

Almost every night we have a problem. We see this in our logging, and the httpd process stops working correctly.

Feb 7 04:02:14 web httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
Feb 7 04:02:14 web httpd: no listening sockets available, shutting down
Feb 7 04:02:14 web httpd: Unable to open logs
Feb 7 04:02:14 web httpd: httpd startup failed
Feb 7 04:02:32 web syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

We have to stop and start the httpd to get it working again. Is this a syslogd rotate problem, or in the apache config ? Can someone give me a hint ?

Thanks for the info … Richard

Before you restart the httpd have you done a netstat -lnp to see whats running on 443?

Took a while, but the issue is back again.
Yes, I did. Here is the output, I hope someone can give me an answer.

netstat -anp | grep 443

tcp 0 0 :::2443 :::* LISTEN 12743/iworx-web
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 12653/httpd

After a restart of httpd :

netstat -anp | grep 443
tcp 0 0 :::2443 :::* LISTEN 12743/iworx-web
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 11042/httpd
