Fix easyengine error for global-nginx-proxy

July 3, 2022 by Ciprian Tepes Leave a Comment

If you have your sites on easyengine and none of your sites are down, you have to check if nginx is running fine. So I refreshed the services but then I got an error:

[email protected]:~# ee service refresh
Starting services_global-nginx-proxy_1 ... error

ERROR: for services_global-nginx-proxy_1  Cannot start service global-nginx-proxy: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint services_global-nginx-proxy_1 (9892615d9abf37c843695746727dc7ff065283139fe3f2ab66526c45ebe96b36): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use

Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

It definitely looks like something’s broken with the easyengine. I’ve googled the similar error code and found some results that suggested to restart the ngingx-proxy itself so I did:

[email protected]:~# ee service restart nginx-proxy
Restarting services_global-nginx-proxy_1 ... error

ERROR: for services_global-nginx-proxy_1  Cannot restart container 834def9742a94182bebabd65da2e745b59ebf459cdd81ee363e7d6d0cf413c91: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint services_global-nginx-proxy_1 (8f1d2b9569490b7cfa30fb6d831d5a086ab96c07019f98919539aed083b52161): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use

Success: Service global-nginx-proxy restarted.

However, that was not enough because none of my sites were accessible. Whenever I tried to access any of the sites I have on easyengine I got that Cloudflare’s 521 error saying there’s a problem with the server.

Some suggestions said I should search for any docker instance and kill it:

[email protected]:~# ps -ef | grep docker
root       739     1  0 12:11 ?        00:00:05 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
[email protected]:~# kill 739

But that didn’t really fix my issue even after starting docker again:

Then I thought maybe there’s apache2 running and I don’t know and that was the case so I disabled it.

[email protected]:/opt/easyengine/services# apache2
[Thu Jun 30 13:19:43.888904 2022] [core:warn] [pid 26507] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_RUN_DIR} is not defined
apache2: Syntax error on line 80 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: DefaultRuntimeDir must be a valid directory, absolute or relative to ServerRoot
[email protected]:/opt/easyengine/services# systemctl stop apache2
[email protected]:/opt/easyengine/services# systemctl disable apache2
Synchronizing state of apache2.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable apache2

Now easyengine works great again.
