Usually this means you have an apache daemon which died but did not
release port 80. The kernel can't assign port 80 to another process. The
only sure way to clear it is with a reboot.

Both of these thoughts turned up in my head as well: I tried the killall
httpd - it didn't work. I rebooted the server - didn't work either.
This is why I think it's so strange that starting httpd simply like
that, on the command line, doesn't produce any problems..
Here's my last test (note that httpd is running through the same way I
started it in this test)
# kill `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
# killall httpd
http: no process killed
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
# ps -A
-- httpd not listed --
# find /var -name '*http*' -print
/var/log/httpd
/var/cache/httpd
/var/lock/subsys/httpd
/var/run/httpd.mm.11079.sem
# rm -f /var/run/httpd.mm.11079.sem
# httpd
# ps -A
-- httpd listed eight times --
I just noted that I didn't delete /var/lock/subsys/httpd before trying
/etc/init.d/httpd start.. let's try that again..
# kill `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`
# killall httpd
httpd: no process killed
# find /var -name '*http*' -print
/var/log/httpd
/var/cache/httpd
/var/lock/subsys/httpd
# rm -f /var/lock/subsys/httpd
# /etc/init.d/httpd start
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
# ps -A
-- httpd not listed --
# httpd
# ps -A
-- httpd listed eight times --
This does not make sense to me, but the fault must be in the
/etc/init.d/httpd script..
Greetz!

Sounds more likely that the httpd process *hasn't* quite died yet. On a
Linux system, try "killall httpd" (as root) before starting the server.
