anomaly with httpd24 about homebrew-services HOT 7 CLOSED

Figured out what it takes to run httpd24 as a regular user with ports 8080/8443:

Build httpd24 without option --with-privileged-ports

Edit the config file:
vim /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf

In the config file, change the listen line to:
Listen 8080

In the config file, set a ServerName:
ServerName myserver.mynetwork:8080

Restart the service:
brew services restart httpd24

from homebrew-services.

Noticed the same issue. I built httpd24 with option "--with-privileged-ports". Running httpd as a regular user does not have permission to use these privileged ports (80/443), so httpd probably gives up and does not start.

Have taken to starting all brew related processes with 'sudo brew services' rather than directly with launchctl.

That is a very bad idea; you're going to end up running a lot of services as root that need not be and, at least in this case, are accessible to the network.

Upon login to system apache fails to start - always.

This is likely related to sudo brew services start which starts on system start rather than user login. Resources that may be required may not be available.

That's not really an answer to the question. "brew services list" shows httpd24 as "started" and there is no httpd process running. The same thing happens when running "brew service start httpd24" without root.

That's not really an answer to the question. "brew services list" shows httpd24 as "started" and there is no httpd process running.

That's because brew services is a thin wrapper around launchctl which in this case would also report that a plist has been loaded. It's up to the user to debug why it hasn't started; we can't provide a general solution or detection.

edrozenberg's solution to switch from port 80 to 8080 works for me, also, however I'm not sure why my vhost sites have stopped working on 80 from 2 days ago.

my system.log console shows:
(homebrew.mxcl.httpd24[373]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

curl -I -L localhost
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused

curl -I -L localhost:8080
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
