IBM Http server will not start, port 443 is not listening

check the syntax by running apache -t in windows.
Got this warning.
" [notice] Disabled use of AcceptEx() WinSock2 API"

But still the syntax is OK.
When I type command apache -k start, script went away looking like it's started.
But it didn't because port 443 is still not listening.

Change the location of the keystore to c:\temp and test.

Review the error.log to see if there are any indications of problems.  Also check the httpd.conf to validate that there is a virtual host or listen statement which uses port 443.  
The other thing to check is run netstat -an before starting the server to see if there are any other processes listening on port 443

Other than the following, there is nothing else was added to the httpd.conf file.
#########################
ServerName clmserver.fxgovt.com:80

LoadModule ibm_ssl_module modules/mod_ibm_ssl.so
Listen [::]:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
SSLEnable
</VirtualHost>
KeyFile C:/Program Files/IBM/HTTPServer/ihsserverkey.kdb
SSLDisable
#########################

Here is the error log. But key files are in place. At least from the look of it in the directory. I did run netstat, and couldn't find any 443 port listening.

I forgot to change in httpd.conf.
It looks like 443 is now listening.
 TCP    [::]:443               [::]:0                 LISTENING

Do you know why it doesn't like the Http server root directory?

It is either a permissions issue where the user running the web server does not have permission to access that directory or most likely the space in the path.  try putting  quotes around the path.

For some reason, I can ping the clmserver, but I can't see the webpage.
I was doing this only on the server box.

I need more details on the topology.  And since we got past the port 443 issue and now moving on to a new topic, may be a good idea to open a new forum question
