Hi Michael,



Thank you for your work, much appreciated!



Hear hear …



One thing I noticed with my 5208/5209 openvz VPS is that whenever an update affecting sendmail or apache hits the repos I have to manually restart half of them with

 killall [httpd|sendmail]; service [httpd|sendmail] restart

because nagios kicks off and calls me on the phone, naturally in the middle of the night when these updates tend to be applied.



I understand that these services sometimes do not restart properly after updates/changes as it has always been the case, but with 5106 and 5107 these "booboos" always were catched and nicely and timely fixed by swatch.



I wonder if I am the only one hitting this feature of celebrating the advent of shiny new 5208/5209 updates with a hot chocolate in his hand midnight ?



Cheers - Christoph



We get the same and the yum update log shows the problem:



[Fri Sep 29 06:03:59 2017] [warn] NameVirtualHost 192.168.10.165:80 has no VirtualHosts

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443

no listening sockets available, shutting down

Unable to open logs

[FAILED]





We have to reboot to solve the problem. I am sure there is an easy fix but I have never been able to solve it. We see it on a number of our servers where we cannot restart http without rebooting. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can tell me what to do?



Regards



Colin
