I have ubuntu 10.04 server configured to ip address x.x.x.200 and also have windows server 2003 with ip address x.x.x.100 (already setup as www.some-domain.com)

Currently i trying to shutdown windows server 2003 and use only ubuntu 10.04 server, the main idea is to change ubuntu ip address to x.x.x.100 since the www.some-domain.com already configured to x.x.x.100 by ISP.

Tried changing several config. Likely all run fine, i can ping the new address, i can SSH, WinSCP, Ftp except Apache2 webserver now fail to start (no error message).

Any suggestion what ubuntu & apache config should i change?

content of /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1  localhost
x.x.x.100  some-domain.com some-domain

content /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address x.x.x.100
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network x.x.x.10
  broadcast x.x.x.255
  gateway x.x.x.1

content of /etc/resolv.conf

search some-domain.com
nameserver x.x.3.5
nameserver x.x.3.6

content of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

ServerName some-domain.com

  • If it fails to start, it is more than likely not your IP address that is wrong but some other configuration file. Look in your apache2 logs and syslog.

    Check if Apache is binded to previous IP addres httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/bind.html

    netmask 255.255.255.0 network x.x.x.10 If the network is correct, the netmask cannot be, and vice versa. Figure out which one is being used.

  • just remove network and broadcast. They can be correctly calculated without having to specify them. The only real reason to specify them is when you really know what you are doing and you are doing something very non-standard.

Apache should log something to error log or syslog. Or for the final solution try to strace it, to see what is wrong:

 strace -f /etc/init.d/apache2 start
