I'm working on a project for academic purposes, the goal is to use Nginx as a Reverse Proxy for Apache, so far i've installed Nginx and everything is ok, it's listening to port 80, but when i was going to installed apache it says that its already installed with latest updates, but when i'm trying to set up an Apache Server on a CentOS 7 machine i am not seeing the Apache test page when I get visit my machines IP Address.

I've tried to start the service with service httpd start but this is the output:

Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

then runned this systemctl status httpd.service and this is the output:

Apache2

  #
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so 'log/access_log'
# with ServerRoot set to '/www' will be interpreted by the
# server as '/www/log/access_log', where as '/log/access_log' will be
# interpreted as '/log/access_log'.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to specify a local disk on the
# Mutex directive, if file-based mutexes are used.  If you wish to share the
# same ServerRoot for multiple httpd daemons, you will need to change at
# least PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8000

#
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so
#
Include conf.modules.d/*.conf

#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.  
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.

Although the configuration snippets are missing it looks like that there is a port conflict. By default Apache2 and Nginx are listening on port 80. Check the logs. If there is a conflict, change the Listen port of Apache2 or Nginx to a port that is available.

The provided logs indicate the following:

Feb 02 16:01:26 localhost.localdomain httpd[21057]: no listening sockets avai...

This could mean that there is a port conflict indeed.

In order to solve this issue the default listen port that resides in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to an available port and the httpd service should be restarted.

Change Listen 80 to Listen <available_port>.

Regarding the log snippet provided in the comments:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from name_bind access on the tcp_socket .

According this documentation this issue could be solved by executing semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp <apache2 port> and restarting apache2. Note to verify whether access to the port has been permitted using semanage port -l.

  • I'll try this out, post updated with the snippets – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 22:50
  • Still get this message when trying to start the service _"Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. "_ – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 22:59
  • Yeah, it does return nothing, and no Apache does not start even if nginx is stoped – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 23:12
  • Something Wierd happened, i set the port to 8000, stoped nginx and try to start Apache and got this message: _"SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from name_bind access on the tcp_socket ."_ – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 23:13

  • What u mean by test system? – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 23:19
  • I see, i change the default port to "Use a Non-Standard Port" and i didn't realize that i had to tell SElinux about it, i'll try to fix it, but i've got a question... if i set a Non-Standard Port, do i have to set apache to that port? for example if i set 2015 as my Non-Standard port, is that the port that i'll set to Apache? – Jonathan Solorzano Feb 02 '15 at 23:23

the easiest thing to do is to turn selinux off, configure it all working then install audit2allow on the box. Turn SELinux back on and run audit2allow.

cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep AVC

formulate a policy based on the deny messages using

cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep AVC | audit2allow -m nginx

use -M to build the policy
