Webservices not starting

Question

I am running a new G5 Quad Core server serving a webpage. The webservices appears to have crashed and will not start up.
I have look at the logs and this is what appears
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/000110.0.0.250_80xxxxxxx.co.uk.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/virtualhostglobal.conf
[Fri Jul 6 10:27:02 2007] [crit] (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 9010
Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/000110.0.0.250_80xxxxxx.co.uk.conf

[Fri Jul 6 10:27:27 2007] [crit] (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 9010
I have tried running
apachectl configtest and it says syntax OK, but when I try to start the Apache server from terminal i get this.
WebMail:/usr/sbin admin$ apachectl start
Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/000110.0.0.250_80xxxxxxx.co.uk.conf
Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/virtualhostglobal.conf
fopen: Permission denied
httpd: could not open error log file /var/log/httpd/error_log.
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
WebMail:/usr/sbin admin$
Any ideas on why it can't open, or why there is a permissions error. Nothing has changed from yesterday.
Thx

The logs indicate that something is already listening on port 9010, which is why Apache can't get that port to listen on. Are you sure that httpd isn't running? My machine has Apache listening on port 9010.
When you tried apachectl you were trying it as a regular user. In Unix, only root can start a process that will listen on a privleged port (<1024), so you were denied. You would probably be okay if you did:
sudo apachectl start
