If apache2 says:

(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address
0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I am pretty sure this is an IPv6 issue. This Linux 2.4.25 box doesn't know IPv6. I also tried under Linux 2.6.3 and same (I believe no IPv6 support). A simple fix is to not have the default "Listen 80" line enabled by default (but "Listen 0.0.0.0:80" is fine). A better fix is to make sure IPv6 is not tried. I don't know for sure. (The "Unable to open logs" is just nonsense.)

I reported this a few days ago but didn't receive any feedback. I installed meta-pkgs/xfce4. And the fontconfig/MESSAGE was repeated 22 times. Send-pr: pkg/24864: xfce packages should not include fontconfig/MESSAGE (wiz fixed and closed same day.)

Worked on new pkgsrc/www/apache2 updated.
