Q: localhost port 8080 doesn't respond but using 127.0.0.1:8008 does work

When I try to access locahost:8080, I get The localhost page isn’t working localhost didn’t send any data. ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE but if I try: 127.0.0.1:8080, I get the response I'm looking for I believe this has something to do with the httpd (apache) that I just updated with homebrew httpd2...

Meiko Watu

does "ping localhost" resolve to 127.0.0.1 ? You can check /etc/hosts as well.

pixel 67

Yes, ping localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

Meiko Watu

Did you have old config files which define a virtual host? Or is there anything in the apache log files? Do you see anything happening when you tail all log files and try to access localhost? "tail -f /usr/local/var/log/apache2/*"

pixel 67

I'm not sure, not really knowledgeable about the server configs, just fiddle until I get things working Here is a link the result when I run the tail call: gist file

Meiko Watu

It looks like there is still another process running which uses the ports. So I guess you would need to shut it down first

I did a ps aux | grep localhost:8080 <code><pre> → ps aux | grep localhost:8080 tony 66074 0.0 0.0 2444056 700 s003 U+ 12:52PM 0:00.00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude -dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn localhost:8080 </pre></code>

Meiko Watu

Look for the process with: "ps -aef | grep httpd | grep -v grep". Since the process of apache is called httpd and not localhost

You can kill the runnig apache with the following command: ps -aef | grep " httpd " | grep -v grep |kill $(awk '{print $2}')

pixel 67

This is the link to the output Sorry for the formatting, so I should just run kill on all httpd process?

Meiko Watu

Yeah, since there is another apache process running, you cannot start your updated version. You need to stop or if that doesn't work kill them, before you can start your new server with apachectl start

pixel 67

Ok, that makes sense. I'll try. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Meiko Watu

No worries, the command: * ps -aef | grep " httpd " | grep -v grep |kill $(awk '{print $2}') * Should work and do the job for you. After that you can start the new apache with * sudo apachectl -k restart *

pixel 67

seems to be taking a long time to run that command, nothing happening yet

I have most of Apache and PHP stuff installed with homebrew if that helps at all?

Meiko Watu

If it's taking a long time, then it most probably tries to restart every killed apache process. Can you just try to shut it down with: * sudo apachectl stop * and check for running processes afterwards ?

hey :)

pixel 67

Hi

so, I got this
httpd (pid 39269?) not running

Meiko Watu

are there still processes running ? When you try the command from before ?

ps -aef | grep httpd | grep -v grep

pixel 67

0 82 1 0 7:19AM ?? 0:00.93 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND
501 247 82 0 7:19AM ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND
501 3659 82 0 7:22AM ?? 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND

501 3663 82 0 7:22AM ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND
501 3664 82 0 7:22AM ?? 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/httpd -D FOREGROUND

yeah, looks like the httpd24 from homebrew

Meiko Watu

yeah, that's what i thought. The process identification file is stale, so got old informations and therefore it cannot kill the apache server running

you can kill them manually with:

kill -9 247 3659 3660 3662 3663 3664

afterwards you should be able to use sudo apachectl stop && sudo apachectl start

pixel 67

18:08

do I just copy that and paste into my terminal?

Meiko Watu

yep

that just kills them all in once. and then restarts the server

pixel 67

I'm using brewservices to handle that for me

Meiko Watu

yeah, but brewservices and all other things are using PID files to "find their processes"

if the file is stale and the pid cannot be found ( httpd (pid 39269?) not running) then it cannot do anything

pixel 67

ok, just wanted to make sure

Meiko Watu

otherwise you could just restart your mac

that would help as well

pixel 67

18:10

ok

I ran the
kill -9 247 3659 3660 3662 3663 3664
then did the `sudo apache stop` and got

httpd (pid 39269?) not running

I'm almost ready to reinstall the OS lol

I had tomcat and nginx installed before and ever since then, could never really get localhost:8080 to work

any other port works just fine

werid

localhost: 3000, 3034 etc

helped

but I had to use 127.0.0.1:8080

Meiko Watu

have you done the start command as well ?

pixel 67

I didn't

Meiko Watu

doesn't matter if it says that it's not running

do it and check :)

pixel 67

should I restart the computer too?

Meiko Watu

should be fine again

pixel 67

18:14

ok :)

Meiko Watu

no just do this first

and check for localhost

you can also check the logs again, it should restart properly now

pixel 67

httpd not running, trying to start

Never seen that before

Meiko Watu

hm

pixel 67

brb, my son is calling me

Meiko Watu

you did it with sudo ?

sure

pixel 67

18:19

Hi, srry

yep, ran sudo

Meiko Watu

no worries.

hm

I honestly would suggest to uninstall it properly with homebrew first and then reinstall the package

something went wrong, maybe the service definitions are not updated to the new path or something

pixel 67

→ sudo apachectl start

Meiko Watu

you said you updated it, right?

pixel 67

yep

with those instructions

I didn't update to Sierra yet

but I figured it would straighten out my local dev

I rarely do PHP stuff

it's mostly JavaScript

and Ruby or Python

I just have PHP and Apache for one site, I'm still maintaining

uggg

Meiko Watu

hmpf

pixel 67

18:22

lol

Meiko Watu

sorry, just loked something up

and sound pretty much like my old dev days

one site still using php and still having all the stuff around for it

pixel 67

:)

I know

Meiko Watu

but two suggestions I've got for you

pixel 67

ok

Meiko Watu

1.) Uninstall the httpd24 package completely and check if still are httpd process running after a restart. If so it's not completely removed

check the files under: /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/

there must be something with httpd in the name. remove it with sudo and reboot

it should not come back afterwards

pixel 67

18:25

ok, let me try

Meiko Watu

the second opinion is if it's only for one site

uninstall apache and stuff

and just install php

inside the directory just do an php -S localhost:8000

that starts the development server

and doesn't run all the time, costs you battery power etc

pixel 67

ok

sounds good

Meiko Watu

since it only runs when you use it

it's the same as the runserver in django or ruby

pixel 67

yeo

yep

okay. let me try option 1 first :)

Meiko Watu

and you don't have to maintain more and more running processes

pixel 67

18:27

thanks again for your help

Meiko Watu

alright :)

pixel 67

have a good day :)

Meiko Watu

you too
