I had some trouble getting Apache2 to run properly on my machine, so I uninstalled the 
port and started over with a new port installation.
It seemed to work fine "out of the box" with very few changes to the httpd.conf file.  
I'm able to 'lynx http://localhost' with no trouble, and last I checked I was able to 
view the page from another browser on my local LAN using my external IP address after 
'poking a hole' in my router firewall to allow traffic for port 80 through to the 
server.  However, I've run into a bit of a problem now: I haven't changed anything 
since yesterday, and I can't browse the site from an external computer (at work).
Also, I get the following, strange error when checking the status of the daemon:
 
# apachectl --status
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
 
Despite all this, the server is still running (or running again?) and I can still 
'lynx' to it when I ssh to my server, even from work; I just can't access it via the 
Web.
The server thread looks like it's okay, even though it's somehow now serving bothIP4 
and IP6; last night it showed only 'tcp6' and I haven't changed any config settings:
 
# netstat -nat | grep 80
tcp46      0      0  *.80                   *.*                    LISTEN

Do I need to open a hole somewhere I haven't yet?
 
Also, I'll eventually need to change port 80 to another, unused port, as my ISP does 
not allow web hosting.  I once tried to fix this by changing the port number in two 
places in httpd.conf: 'Listen' and 'ServerName'.  This seemed to change the port of 
the thread, as 'netstat' showed the new port, but nothing else worked.  Where else 
must the port number be changed?
