(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to add

Hi
Until this morning all was fine with my webserver set-up, now I got problems. It all stemmed from me trying to restart Apache, with the server reporting:
Code: 
Syntax OK
Starting apache22.
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address ip.ip.ip.ip:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22: WARNING: failed to start apache22

I thought to myself, If Apache can't bind to address ip.ip.ip.ip then why not try to remove this obstacle from my config files. So, In:
httpd-ssl.conf and httpd.conf I changed

Code: 
Listen ip.ip.ip.ip:80
to
Code: 
Listen 80
I then attempt to restart Apache and sure enough, it restarts but none of my websites display in the browser - with the page just hanging indefinitely? Here's today's httpd-error.log records:

Code:

Re: (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to

Stop Apache, wait a couple of seconds and then check if there's anything else still locking port 80 with sockstat -46. It may just be some Apache process that's hung up and keeping the port bound.

Thanks. I order that command and see an entry with port:80 in it:

Code: 
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
root     httpd      1552  3  tcp4   ip.ip.ip.ip:80      *:*

Is this the problem? What should I do? kill pid 1552
 
Re: (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to

Yes, if you stopped Apache this process is probably stuck. Try killing it, kill 1552 or kill it hard: kill -9 1552.

Nice, everything's back-up - kill it hard! :) Many thanks.
 
I've just had the same problem starting Apache24 in a FreeNAS jail following a power cut. But the same solution doesn't work for me...

Code: 
root@FreeBSD:~ # sockstat -46
sockstat: struct xtcpcb size mismatch
USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS      
root     syslogd    6036  6  udp6   *:514                 *:*
root     syslogd    6036  7  udp4   *:514                 *:*

Any advice?
