Hi @prathiabhishek,

Looking at the provided logs, I can see a couple of issues. Firstly, Apache is trying to start and listen on port 10. Have you changed the default configuration about port 80 to port 10? If you have, make sure the port is not used by another service. If you intend to use port 10, then execute the following command

netstat -tulpne | grep 10

See if anything is listening on it.

Another issue might be the lack of space/inodes on your Droplet.

You can check it by executing the following commands

df -h
df -i

If you have any of the partitions full, please make sure to free some space.

Lastly, when you try to restart apache and it fails, please do check 

journalctl -xe

It should provide you with the full error behind the failing.

Regards,
KDSys

    Hello @KDSys,

    I have added multiple port numbers alongside the port 80 for the purpose of virtual hosting through port numbers. I haven’t deleted the port 80.

    Thank you.

      For this aproach to work, you’ll need to have multiple IP addresses.

      It’s a lot easier if you use the standard way. Ports 80 and 443 are used to accept http/https requests and have different Virtualhost files for separate domains.

      https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-18-04

      There is a reason why it’s the standard way, it’s the most efficient and proven.

        Hello @KDSys

        I was practicing the way of hosting different websites with multiple port numbers in AWS Instance. So I will be getting only 1 IP address.

        And my Apache Httpd started working once i disabled the SELINUX using the following code

        sudo nano /etc/selinux/config

        And restarted the httpd, It’s Active and running.

        I thank you for taking your time and helping me.

        Have a good one,

        Regards,
        Abhishek.
