I am having a strange problem with Apache 1.2.6 (I have dl 1.3.1 but am
trying to resolve this problem before compiling it)

When attempting to start httpd on port 80 I get the error:

[root@gear httpd]# bind: Address already in use
httpd: could not bind to port 80

But I am able to bind httpd to port 8080, 81, 76 etc.

I have run a probe on my system from a remote system and showed nothing
running on port 80.  All other services appear as normal.  This is a new
installation that I am performing almost 100 percent remotely (I am not
even in the same city as the machine itself, quite a learning experience)

netstat -ta gives the following (Yes i know, lots of unnecessary open
ports, I have not closed most of them just yet):

Can someone please point out to me what may be listening on port 80 (I am
feeling like quite the moron right about now and must have overlooked
something so very simple).

Thanks for the help :)
