On a newly installed F24 I have a /home/... directory with a
collection of movie files - *.m4v and such, that I want to googlecast
to a TV for viewing.  I've configured a private httpd setup to display
this directory listing when the local machine name is entered in the
address line of google-chrome, and when a file is clicked, it plays
and can be "cast" to the TV.  Neat!

However, when the machine boots (quiet, without rhgb) the messages
include
  [FAILED] Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server.
  See 'systemctl status httpd.service' for details.
and, sure enough, httpd isn't running.

journalctl -b shows this:
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: (99)Cannot assign requested
  address: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address
  192.168.10.99:80
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: no listening sockets
  available, shutting down
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield httpd[1100]: AH00015: Unable to open logs
  ...
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Main process

  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP
  Server.
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Unit entered
  failed state.
  Jun 27 10:33:17 garfield systemd[1]: httpd.service: Failed with
  result 'exit-code'.

It can be started manually later, readily enough, with
  systemctl start httpd
but that's a PITA.

So, why could httpd not 
  "make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.10.99:80"
Could it just be that the network isn't up yet?
Why isn't httpd more patient and persistent?

This seems like yet another systemd problem.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
