[Tfug] no listening sockets

Hi,
  my comupter in a fedora linux machine. When I try to start httpd I am getting
the following error message:

[root at lab29 init.d]# ./httpd start
Starting httpd: (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind
to address 12.34.56.78:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I am using apache as my server.

I checked my sockets

[root at lab29 init.d]# netstat | grep http
