Hello,

I cant start nginx while running apache2 at the same time on my vpn’s IP 10.8.0.1 on the same server.

Here’s my nginx log:

Could anyone help me?

Thanks

You got Apache2 running on the same port so you can’t start Nginx
Use a different port

I didn’t change anything on my installation. So my apache2 configs are on port 8080 and my nginx configs are on port 80

Check your config then… By default Nginx should never bind to 8080…

Where should I check it?

Okay. I changed the WEB_PORT Variable in /usr/local/hestia/conf/hestia.conf to something different and have done a rebuild of the domains with:

for user in $(v-list-sys-users plain); do v-rebuild-web-domains $user; done

Now it’s solved for me, thanks
