Some ideas:
You might have an instance of httpd running in the background stopping a
new one from binding to the port.
Run the following commands and examine the output to check what could be there
# netstat -na -f inet | grep LISTEN
# ps ax
Kill all running instances of httpd, or anything else that is binding to
port 80.
Once you've done that, try starting httpd in no-fork mode and see what
it says:
# httpd -dv
If it still doesn't work, try a different port (change 80 to 8888 for instance).
