Anyway, the apache docs are right: or the port is already used by an http daemon, or, since ports 1-1023 are reserved, the user trying to start httpd is not root. Please note that having httpd running as root is VERY DANGEROUS. See the apache docs on how to change the user after the daemon has started.
