Solved(I think) Re: FC7->FC8 upgrade yields apache error: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80

/etc/init.d/httpd relies on a static reference to the httpd.pid and I
had moved mine into another directory in httpd.conf. Seems to be time
they derive that from the httpd.conf since it's not guaranteed to be in
a static location and this is a VERY non-obvious bug to hunt out.

Apache and when I tried "apachectl restart" it works fine so ostensibly
this is a Fedora issue.
