It could be another Listen or a VirtualHost or Bind or another equivalent statement which tells Apache to bind to the port. It is worth knowing that a syntax check of the Apache config is available: /sbin/service httpd configtest If you removed the comment and ran the above command, it might tell you the place(s) where a problem resides. Keep in mind that the config files are routinely stored in /etc/httpd/ and below this you may see both a directory conf as well as one called conf.d. The files in these directories may contain multiple statements to bind to the port. Finally, manually starting Apache is fine for testing but you want to have it start automatically so it will be running after a reboot of the server. One older way of managing this is the chkconfig command which will place symlinks in the /etc/rc.d directories to determine if a server program (aka daemon or service) is to be running in a particular run level (probably 3 for command line or 5 for X window). Find out with: grep initdefault /etc/inittab For a command-line login (good for standalone, headless servers): id:3:initdefault: James -- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
