Thanks John for the good intention to help, I was one of the unfortunate user
myself too, who just hit this bug on Fedora 10 with default httpd 2.2.10
installed.

The error message was exactly the same, but first I thought it's related to
IPv6 configuration which I disabled, but the issue remaind.
I'm afraid the PidFile solution I found on this page was no help either.
Eventually after some long hours spent on googling and tryring to fix the issue
myself, I found the solution to this issue.

I had to comment the

Include conf.d/*.conf

line in httpd.conf to be able to start the daemon. 

I don't know why it happened and why it fixed the issue, but now I have no PHP
configuration which is part of this conf.d directory and wanted to use the
server for PHP development.

If it's an ASF issue, or not, the users are suffering and those poor buggers on
the Fedora forums keep reinstalling their OS to try to fix this annoying issue.

Pity not this oraganization nor the OS distributor is willing to get this issue
fixed once and for all...
