Yes, that is what it means.
Try doing a
ps -ax
and see if you are running any deamons (such as a sockd deamon perhaps) or
if there is anything left from a previous incarnation of apache.
Using
netstat -na | grep 1080
would also help, you can see if the kernel things if there is anything
on that port.
That is the most likeley cause.
