Yep. Calling httpd directly worked. I should have tried that. Thanks.

I have removed the Listen directive from my config and would like

I keep getting dumped in to the -help and syntax page of httpd. It
does not seem to like the syntax. When I remove the 8080 (the
value part to the Listen directive) I get this:
% ./apachectl -C "Listen" -k start
Syntax error on line 1 of -c/-C directives:
Listen requires 1 or 2 arguments.
I thought simple quotes would work - but it does not seem to. Any
suggestions or insight would be appreciated.
apachectl is a shell script, so you can look inside to see and
understand what happens.
As you can see, it is essentially a very thin wrapper around httpd -
k $ARGV with ARGV set to whatever came in on the command line. I
expects start|stop|restart|graceful|etc., but anything after the -k
argument should just sneak in... you'll have to take into account
that the shell might strip away a level of quotes, so experiment with
apachectl start -C "\"Listen 8080\""
or something like that. Experiment.
Or, depending on your circumstances and the other things apachectl
does, just call httpd -k directly.
