Bill,

ok, I tested this out for ya, and I couldn't duplicate the issue. FreeBSD 4.8...

I put an additional IP on the main interface, and started apache with Listen IP:80 for each IP. The server has mod_frontpage using apache 1.3.29. I even tried have the BindAddress in the conf file as well.

Sorry, I don't have the extra time to install 1.3.31 and recompile for ya, but I think there is something else going on there...

Where in the conf file is your Listen directive ? What OS ? Is there anything listening on port 80 when you have apache off ? Is your IP an alias to the primary interface ?

I really don't think that the frontpage module even has the ability to change what apache binds to...

Anyways, thought I would let you know that I couldn't reproduce it...

Tim.

Both of the following:

Listen xx.xx.xx.xx:80
BindAddress xx.xx.xx.xx

I have another server here (used for development) with a fairly vanilla Apache
install, and changing those same two settings causes it to do what I'd expect.

I can't find any directives in the Frontpage Apache config that might cause this
... but I suppose it's possible that I'm missing something.
