This is your problem alright. It means exactly what it says: the process
(Apache) cannot bind to port 443. Processes using TCP/IP communicate
with each other by creating "ports" which are identified by numbers.
They can then send TCP/IP packets to each other with the port number on
the front and it will be delivered. What has happened here is that
Apache has started up and tried to reserve port 443 for its own use.
However, it finds another process is already using port 443 so it cannot
get it and so it dies. The "other process" is probably the last instance
of Apache which you killed but which didn't die cleanly and so left the
port open.
The simplest solution is to reboot your machine. That clears all ports
and removes all zombie processes.
Good luck.

PS when starting apache, I always tail the error_log just to check for
these messages, e.g.:
# tail -f apache_error_log
