Yes, it was the Secure Linux preventing the use of the port. I wonder if the error message should be broadened to include
the possibility that security policies are not allowing it's use, rather than just assuming that the port is not available because
it's already in use.
I added the port to the security policy with this command:
# semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 280
I had already added the port to the firewall
[root@web1e conf]# firewall-cmd --info-zone=public
public (active)
target: default
...
services: dhcpv6-client https http ssh
ports: 9100/tcp 9101/tcp ... 280/tcp

Luca,
Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like we may have stumbled over the Secure Linux policy settings. I'll know more later this morning. I'll post a follow up when I figure it out.

Did you check https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html ?
There are useful examples in there, it should clarify all doubts.
Hope that helps!
