This despite spending some hours investigating the problem.
I have got stuck on problems with apache2 which complains of the following
mur:/home/zorgrian# /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
Forcing reload of web server: Apache2 ... no pidfile found! not running?(98)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
mur:/home/zorgrian#
if anyone knows what the F@ck is going on please email me on zorgrian@yahoo.co.uk
Also please don't assume that I've got everything working correctly and yes I've read the following....

YOu have two errors there:
- Can't shut down - no pid file found.
- Address in use.
The first means that you've not got apache running so you shouldn't run "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart". Instead run "/etc/init.d/apache start" - however first we need to deal with the second error.
The second error "cannot bind" suggests that you have something running and listening upon port 80 already. Simplest way to find out what process that might be is to run:
apt-get install lsof lsof -i :80
That should get you the process which is listening upon port 80. (If run as root).
Kill it. And then start Apache.
That should help a little, but let us know if it doesnt. It could be that you have apache2 running and the pid file has gone away, in that case you can run "killall apache2" to terminate them.

But first, for some reason I decided to completely remove and then re-install apache2 which seemed to go well all though I have no idea if it is working properly.
Now, assuming that it is working properly (It said so upon finalization of the install) then I went on to do the things that you said. the first 5 lines here are output of the command lsof -i :80 before I used killall apache2
Then... I try again but I get the same 'no pidfile found' message
What the F@ck have I done wrong? I would very much appriaciate your help as I really do want to investigate Bamboo... It seems to be ACE but not much good if I can't run it? Still I am deturmined to get there in the end...

What does netstat -pnt say?
While apache is running, what does
ls -la $(grep ^Pid /etc/apache2/* -h|sed "s/PidFile//")
say?
Can you also post the output of dpkg -l|grep apache

Looks like you started doing good.
You killed the running server, added the new site, but then you made the mistake of running "apache2 reload".
That only reloads a previously running Apache process - now you want to run:
/etc/init.d/apache start
As you don't have any apache processes running - you killed them!

I would like to see if I can fix this before tomorrow morning as I am going to drive to France from Montblanc,Tarragona tomorrow morning...
Still no joy, but here is the output......
mur:/home/zorgrian# man apache2
Reformatting apache2(8), please wait...

etc.
SO then I did this as apache2 was already running
mur:/home/zorgrian# killall apache2
mur:/home/zorgrian# lsof -i :80

etc
then I did....
mur:/home/zorgrian# /etc/init.d/apache2 start

mur:/home/zorgrian# netstat -pnt

This looks good:
mur:/home/zorgrian# /etc/init.d/apache2 start Starting web server: Apache2.
So .. is it working? Can you open your browser? See anything in the logfiles, etc?

http://mysite.com
seems to resolve to some horrible webspace vendor site
http://home.mysite.com/
so not so good on that level but maybe ther is actually some very good reason for this?
what can I try now?

If you've not setup DNS then http://localhost, or http://your.ip.address/ should be OK.
That really depends on how you configured your virtual host though ..

http://localhost
in firefox, at least it resolves to
http://localhost/apache2-default/
this brings up the apache screen with the apache logo that says
If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page. etc
which at least means that apache2 is serving up something.
Its not quite there though is it? apache2 doesn't seem to know about bamboo.
By the way still nothing in the logs
what now?
Please help... I am trying to read the docs but I'm running out of time
Thanks for all the help so far.......I could use some more

I suggest you find somebody local to help you!
It looks like your Apache setup is still reading the default things from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and ignoring the things you added in myshost.com. From your previous comment I guess that's because you don't have DNS setup properly.
Trying to work out what you have in your new configuration file, and the default one, and get them fixed is going to be an involved process .. So if you're under time pressure you're not going to get much more luck here I'm afraid.
Examining the settings that I showed in the article will probably help - especially if you look at the files /var/log/apache2/access.log and /var/log/apache2/error.log.

I'm a musician and I want to use bamboo for a community project here in Spain...
I will carry on for a few more hours though because it will be better to run the website like this than to use a static system with content added by dreamweaver or some other html editor... I want to keep tight control over content but keep the site available for trusted additions etc
you can check out the current site at http://www.vinaixa.co.uk/
I don't mind doing away with all the fancy flash stuff that I put in this site if the content can be managed more easily
Cheers!

I was searching google for help on a similar problem and just wanted to say thanks. I am using Gentoo Linux, but some program kept taking over my port 80. It may be a virus or something, I am still looking. But now I know how to find out whats on a port and how to use the killall statement. I couldn't find that anywhere. So to all others who read this post, if you are using Gentoo Linux, do this :
emerge lsof
Then to find out whats on a port, use Steve's code above:
lsof -i :80 (where 80 is the port your looking for)
If you don't like whats on it,
kill $processid (processids will be listed by the above statement)
or if you know the service bothering you (like apache)
killall apache
Another great program to check out whats going on your ports is "nmap"
Gentoo install: emerge nmap
Then run, nmap localhost or nmap your-ip-address
Maybe Steve can show everyone how to install it on Debian.
Thanks again,
Paul Crinigan
