(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 on OS x Mavericks

Question

I just updated my OSX yesterday with Mavericks and now I am getting error while using apache and Jetty. It used to map my example.com domain directly to the localhost.

Now It seems broke on do to run my application server I have to explicitly specifying port to hit my server.(ex. example.com:8080)

While I run below command.

 sudo apachectl -e debug

I will get the

 [debug] mod_so.c(246): loaded module jk_module
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down

I ran many diff command to kill all httpd process as well find port which is listening on this port.

ex. sudo lsof -i :80

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I also had the same, I removed 'Listern 80' from my config file to solve this issue.
