Hi!
I need your help. I saw the advice that httpd-admin service was not running. If I do a service httpd-admin status -l, I got this:

[root@server ~]# service httpd-admin status -l
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status  -l httpd-admin.service

Thanks in advance.

Does it work to manually restart the service?

systemctl restart httpd-admin

Maybe the service wasn’t stopped correctly. The lines in your error report are cropped so we can’t see the full error message.

Hi! And thaks for your answer @mrmarkuz but no luck.
The last thing I remember is the recent update about httpd-admin

Feb 08 22:29:31 server.domain.es systemd[1]: Started Server Manager UI httpd instance.

httpd-admin service is for the old server-manager. The output is incomplete (so we are missing some error codes) but apparently something is using the port or socket (another process or a zombie httpd-admin process).

Hi @dnutan and thanks you too!
So, if I restart the server, could resolve the issue?

maybe. If you want you can use netstat (netstat -lnp | grep 980) or something else to check if there is something listening on the 980 port.

[root@server ~]# netstat -lnp | grep 980
tcp6       0      0 :::980                  :::*                    LISTEN      5262/httpd

This is the output. I’m gonna try to restart it and see what happens.

That seems the problem

Thank you soo much!
