Can't seem to get apache to start up... [SOLVED]

I try to invoke Apache using 'httpd' as my command and I get the following:

xelados@sporkbox:/etc/httpd/conf$ httpd
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

I've tried running as root and nothing happens. I've modified /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to set ServerName to 10.0.0.9, which is my internal IP. This server will be acting to provide an intranet wiki. I've never seen this error before, so I'm unsure as to how to handle it.

SOLVED: A friend I know helped me out. I added "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain sporkbox" to my /etc/hosts and added "Listen 127.0.0.1:80" to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf along with my internal IP and it worked! Now Apache works when I input "localhost", my internal IP, and my hostname.

You must have root privileges to bind a socket to a port < 1024 (well-known ports).

jerem: The daemon still fails. Is there virtual host stuff I need to setup? More httpd.conf settings? I'll pastebin things if need be. I just want the server to work.

If it can't bind to the port, the port may be in use. Post the output of 'netstat -natup'
The only time I've had errors starting apache is when my server couldn't figure out its own name, and you seem to have that covered.

:D
Make sure that /var/log partition is not full. If it is full, delete some log files and restart apache again.

This is what the error log has in store for me:

[Wed Jun 06 22:47:57 2007] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

And here's my current netstat -natup:
