are you sure that there are no other webservers
currently running and on port 80?
do the 'set args' gdb command with at least the -X parameter
before executing run.
when you start apache and it blows up, is apache using any
other command line arguments such as -DSSL?
if so, make sure you use that on the set args line as well
so you are running the program with the same enviroment
in gdb as when you run with apachectl.
