Which shows nothing Listening on port 80. One again FC6 has done me in.
Any explanations?

It's not FC6's fault :-)

The behavior is to do with a TCP connection that was made to the server
while it was alive, that hangs around for some time, 60 seconds or
whatever after the connection was closed on one side... that is what it
is meant to do.

If you amend your netstat to just -n and grep on :80, you should see the
client connection shown in TIME_WAIT. After the timeout completes, you
will be able to start Apache again.

That is an interesting explanation but this error occurred the first
time I tried to start Apache so the connection was never opened in the
first place. netstat -n |grep :80
returns nothing.
and:
fuser -a -n tcp 80
returns: 80/tcp:

Anyone have any further ideas?
