Changing port for http server not working, please help

Question

Hi Gurus
I installed standalone hhtp server from db companion cd on AIX 5.3 10gR2.
I tested the http server URL http://XXX.XXX.XXX.com:7777/epdev/helloworld
after creating a procedure in the db and it works
But I need http server to use port 80 and not default of 7777
I did 2 changes in httpd.conf - Port 80 and Listen 80 But after this I am not
able to start http server . Can somebody tell me what am I missing here ?
I even tried starting it as root and got error as well
$HTTP_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=cov6053:6200
0 of 1 processes started.
ias-instance id=IAS-X-cov6053.6299
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server
Error
--> Process (pid=720916)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
/export/host/thishost/unix/cen/app/oracle/product/http10.2/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1
The log file has this entry no error:
07/11/15 10:45:26 Start process
/export/host/thishost/unix/cen/app/oracle/product/http10.2/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start: execing httpd
Thanks a lot for your help

I was able to reslove this. Followed this :
On UNIX, you will hare to run as root if you want to run on ports less than 1024.
In order to run Oracle HTTP Server as root, perform the following steps:
Shutdown Oracle HTTP Server using the following command:
UNIX: ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin> opmnctl [verbose] stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
Change to root user. Navigate to ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin on UNIX or ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\bin on Windows and execute the following command:
chown root .apachectl
chmod 6750 .apachectl
Exit root.
Restart Oracle HTTP Server using the following command:
UNIX: ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin> opmnctl [verbose] restartproc ias-component=HTTP_Server
