Apache web server problem

[shankarv]

hi all,

i have apache 1.3.6 on slackware.

When i set the ServerType to inetd in httpd.conf file and run apachectl   
start

it says httpd could not be started.

the error_log file contains the following :

getpeername:call for non-connected socket (something like this)
getsockname:call for non-connected socket (something like this)
Error getting the local address.

inetd is running. i have checked it with ps -ax

when ServerType is standalone httpd starts up.
pl help me out.
