[Aspell-user] Bound to Port 80?

[Daniel Watts]

Ok don't shoot me down but I'm actually running ispell...

I found that it somehow bound to port 80 such that my apache server
would not start:

tg6 apache2 # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting apache2 ...
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

When i ran lsof i saw:

tg6 apache2 # lsof -i :80
COMMAND  PID   USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
ispell  3581 apache    4u  IPv4 1146680251       TCP *:http (LISTEN)

Killing that process allowed me to start apache.

Why on earth would ispell (or aspell) bind to port 80?

Many thanks for any advice!
Daniel
