While trying to restart httpd:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

Having the error:

Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs
[FAILED]

To resolve this error run:

fuser -k -n tcp 80
80/tcp: 19594

Then restart Httpd:

/etc/init.d/httpd start

Starting httpd: [ OK ]
