Apache error "could not bind to adress"

Question

Since the last update, apache won't start anymore... I have this message :

(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443

When I try to see who is listening (netstat -plant) i don't see any process on those ports... They are also wide opened on my iptables. Any ideas ?

Btw I'm on Archlinux (4.4.75-1-MANJARO) and using Apache 2.4.26.

Perhaps you have multiple configuration files with the Listen statements in them now ? — marcolz, Jul 12 '17 at 14:31
Okay I got it ! When updating, pacman overrided my httpd-vhosts.conf file... Thanks @marcolz ^^ — Dynamite, Jul 12 '17 at 14:45

Okay I got it ! For some reasons Pacman overrided my httpd-vhosts.conf file. Then in had multiple Listen 80 & Listen 443 in my Apache config files.

That's strange that Pacman didn't created a httpd-vhosts.conf.pacnew instread of overriding my file but it's not and Apache issue.
