Howdy -- it appears that new service had been added to your xinetd config that's causing it to listen on port 80, which is preventing Apache from starting. It looks like the xinetd config was was edited on Aug 16th.

The service that was added that's causing the problem is this one:

service slm2024
{
        port = 80
        socket_type = stream
        protocol = tcp
        user = root
        wait = no
        disable = no
        type = UNLISTED
        server = /usr/sbin/stunnel
        server_args = /etc/webmin/stunnel/slm2024.conf
}

What I did is set "disabled = yes" in /etc/xinetd.conf for that service, and then Apache was able to start.

Note that my changes disabled the new service that was added -- my recommendation would be to run it on a port other than 80.
