I have three IPs. I am trying to bind Apache to two of my IP addresses to leave the third free for other uses(Node.js). At present, Apache is listening on all IP addresses. httpd.conf:
Listen 80
I only want Apache to bind to two of my addresses. I have tried following this doc and replaced the above Listen 80
with the following:
Listen XX.XX.XX.XX:80
Listen XX.XX.XX.XX:80
However, when I try to restart Apache, I get the following error:
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address XX.XX.XX.XX:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
I don't understand how port 80 is free to be used for all IP addresses, but when I specify individual IPs, it errors. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

You only need to bind 1 IP address to apache.
Thats all you need.
