You could run ss -tlnp|grep -w 80 as a superuser to see which proccess is listening on port 80. This process could be configured to listen on another port. This would free port 80 and allow apache to run.

Something else is already using port 80. Try starting apache on a different port or else find out what else is using port 80 and move/kill it.
