Hi all,
            I'm hoping i'm doing something silly. I have an 8.0-RELEASE
machine with one jail that i'm intending to run lighttpd.
I have nothing running on the host other than sendmail on 127.0.0.1 and
sshd bound to the primary IP. The jail is also now running sshd fine.
when i try and start lighttpd i get
Starting lighttpd.
2010-03-23 17:13:35: (network.c.345) can't bind to port: 192.168.10.221
80 Address already in use
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd: WARNING: failed to start lighttpd

however
[root at krill /usr/ports/www/lighttpd]# netstat -an
netstat: kvm not available: /dev/mem: No such file or directory
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address       (state)

udp4       0      0 192.168.10.221.514     *.*

and i can make nc listen on port 80 using
nc -l 192.168.10.221 80
and make connections to it from remote

(17:18:13 <~>) 130 $ telnet 192.168.10.221 80
Trying 192.168.10.221...
Connected to jail.home.unsane.co.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.


So the port definitely isnt in use.

Any suggestions if there is a sysctl or anything i need to change to get
this to work?

Vince
