Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 tableau server running on ubuntu

Question

Hi All,

I got stuck in starting the tableau server as gateway service is not running and went into the error. When I traced the logs and found that "Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80".

Tableau Server: Running on Ubuntu 64 bit AWS VM

When Happened: After restarting of the VM

Note: No other services are running on this VM other then Tableau server and Mongodb BI connector.

Hi I am able to fix this problem. It was happening due to someone installed the proxy nginx and configured on port 80. When I rebooted the OS, nginx blocked the port 80 for himself hence tableau gateway went down.

The command to trace the Port status and applicaiton details

sudo netstat -n -t -p | grep 80

@SANDIP SHARMA​  Hi, First try with this knowledge base article: https://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/gateway-service-does-not-start-and-tableau-server-is-degraded   But if not, I also have found this:   Allowing non root port bounding solved the issue. sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /opt/tableau/tableau_server/packages/<apache build>/bin/httpd   https://community.tableau.com/s/question/0D54T00000KfqspSAB/tableau-server-gateway-error-server-is-failing-to-start-after-upgrade   I would give it a try to the first, and if not to the second one.   I hope it works for you. 🙂    If this post resolves the question "Select as Best" or if it assists in resolving the question, please "Upvote". This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.   Regards,   Diego
