Correct a Linux Service Bind Address

Introduction

An internal status page works on the loopback interface but should listen on every IPv4 interface. Its port and page content are already correct.

The preceding networking lab practiced inspecting listeners with ss, testing HTTP with curl, and reading service configuration. This challenge changes only the bind address.

Make the Status Page Listen on All IPv4 Interfaces

Current Situation

labex-status-page.service is active on TCP port 8090, but it listens only on 127.0.0.1. Its configuration is /etc/labex-status-page.conf.

Scope

Change only BIND_ADDRESS.
Keep port 8090 and the existing page content.
Restart only labex-status-page.service.

Your Goal

Leave the status page listening on 0.0.0.0:8090 and still returning internal status ready.

Acceptance Criteria

labex-status-page.service is active.
ss shows an IPv4 listener on 0.0.0.0:8090.
curl http://127.0.0.1:8090/ returns content containing internal status ready.

Hints

How can I compare the current and required state?

Inspect port 8090 with ss, read the named configuration file, then restart the service after changing the bind value.

Summary

You corrected one service bind address and verified both the listener and preserved HTTP response.
