Hello all, 


I moved a guest between servers over the weekend and when I attempted to start it I
received the following error: 


Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80



I checked its etc/hosts and that did not have the loopback address in it. I even tried
binding the IP address on Listen in httpd.conf. 


There are two other guests on the server that run an Apache instance and NGINX as-well.
I shut both of them down and then the moved guest could happily start Apache. If I shut
everything down and started the NGINX guest first followed by the existing Apache instance
both work fine. 


Any thoughts as to why this moved guest cannot start Apache ? It is though something
is completely glomming port 80 :(
