If you can't telnet to port 80 when Apache is down, then there is nothing listening at that port (assuming you don't have a local firewall that would allow a port to register but not allow data through/in/from).
So: telnet localhost 80 ... when apache is stopped and see what comes back. And stop your local firewall first if applicable. Then at least you will have confirmed that you are at a safe point to look at other configuration issues. Feel free to email me/post your Apache config and I can take a quick scan. Please kill comments first if to my email especially.
