Httpd.comf file and possible configuration issues

Title: Httpd.comf file and possible configuration issues

I have downloaded and compiled apache 2.2.4 on my Mac Powerbook G4 OS X 10.4.9. I did not make any significant changes to the httpd.conf file initially. I started the server and it error’d on startup with the following messages in terminal. I am not getting anything relevant to this error in logs/error.log. 

(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80

Also, I am able to see httpd processes in activity monitor, but they have different pid’s than the one found in logs/httpd.pid. I am assuming those are processes started by the shipped version of apache from Apple, which I would like to disable but don’t quite know how. To start the apache server I am using the full path to the new apache installation as well as the apachectl –f to pass the location and file name of the httpd.conf file I want to use.

Changes to conf/httpd.conf
Servername 127.0.0.1 as well as my IP-( not at the same time)
ServerAdmin (my email address)
DocumentRoot (my Sites Folder at “/users/arthurpesa/Sites”)

I have not changed anything else yet. Any insight is greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Pat
