    Description:
    It's important for us, that both versions (18 and 20) of aleph opac co-exist and are running at the same time.

    I did a server restart and apache on ver18test did not come up. I used util w/3.start servers/6 http to bring it up but when I tried the same for aleph20test I got the following error message:

    (125)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
    (125)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
    no listening sockets available, shutting down
    Unable to open logs

    I logged in as root and killed all the apache processes then tried again:same error message

    Can I have the steps in fixing this?

    Resolution:
    The aleph_start ALEPH_SUB_PORT is the same in both your v18 and your v20 instances ("1"):

    aleph18.abc.org-18(1):

    setenv ALEPH_SUB_PORT   1
    setenv WWW_SERVER_PORT  499${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv PC_SERVER_PORT   699${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv Z39_GATE_PORT    799${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv HTTPD_PORT       8991
    setenv PDS_PORT         8991
    setenv Z39_SERVER_PORT  999${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}

    setenv SIP2_SERVER_PORT 533${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv SLNP_SERVER_PORT 544${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv OCLC_SERVER_PORT 577${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv NCIP_SERVER_PORT 599${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv ILL_SERVER_PORT  900${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}


    aleph18(a20_1):

    setenv ALEPH_SUB_PORT   1
    setenv WWW_SERVER_PORT  499${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv PC_SERVER_PORT   699${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv Z39_GATE_PORT    799${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv HTTPD_PORT 8991
    setenv PDS_PORT 8991
    setenv Z39_SERVER_PORT  999${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}

    setenv SIP2_SERVER_PORT 533${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv SLNP_SERVER_PORT 544${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv OCLC_SERVER_PORT 577${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv NCIP_SERVER_PORT 599${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}
    setenv ILL_SERVER_PORT  900${ALEPH_SUB_PORT}

    so the v20 servers are trying to start on the same ports as the v18 servers.

    **You need to change the v20 ALEPH_SUB_PORT to "2".** And change the v20 "8991"s to "8992"s.

    (As described in KB 8192-392, this might be done using the utml mechanism.)

    And then do "source aleph_start" to make the changes take effect.
