[nzlug] Apache Restarting Problems

[Greg Fawcett]

The error shows it can't stop httpd (apache), so when it tries to restart
it, it finds it can't use that port - the previous instance is still using
it.

Check the error logs (/var/log - it might be httpd or apache) to see if
there is any reason given for failing to stop. From memory (I'm rusty with
Redhat) you can use "service httpd stop" and "service httpd start" instead
of referencing the init.d script.

Cheers!
Greg.
