  The OS doesn't lie.

  If nothing else is running, then you've broken your configuration.  You have multiple "listen" sections which use the same IP/port.

  You previously said:

  That never worked.  The server might have started with that configuration, but it never did anything useful.

  Don't run multiple virtual servers on the same IP/port.  It doesn't work.  It never worked.

  When the system receives a packet for that IP/port, the OS will randomly send the packet to one socket.  It will NOT send all packets to all sockets.  It will NOT send packets from one client consistently to one socket.

  Fix your configuration so that it's correct.
