no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs--

That means another application is already using port 80. Maybe you have apache as well as apache2 running?

Does:

Code:

---

apachectl stat

show you anything?

it shows nothing important though, the output i get is this..

well i tried running these commands, which one of my friend told me to do, which will tell if any other process is trying to listen to port 80, but no fruits there either,

netstat -ap | grep 80
