Hi Patrick, > no listening sockets available, shutting down > Unable to open logs" Check the path of your log files. In my experience Apache can be very sensitive when it comes to not being able to log. It is weird that you also get the error message about the socket being unavailable even though port 80 is not in use. However, this could well be a secondary effect.
