mate, what does the log message say ? 

> (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

one of two things spring to mind, the apache start is not being run by
root or you have something else listening on that port. what you need to
do next is this,  make sure you are root when you execute the apachectl
commands, if that still doesn't work then *as* root execute 

#sockstat -4 | grep 80 

and post the output
