[cfspence]

Thanks. Here is (some) of the information you requested.

I tried reading the man pages for netstat and I'm still not sure I have issued the command with the correct options - I tried several. It's still not obvious to me what is holding port 80 open. I would be happy to post some of the output if requested. There is no output (other than the column heading) if I simply issue netstat without options.

I have not installed HTop but did try running top. It is not obvious to me that there is a process that is hanging - how could I tell?

I installed Apache during the fc6 install (essentially following the "Installing a LAMP System with Fedora Core 6" how-to on how-to-forge). I may have may configuration changes but I don't think so (sorry to be so vague). I could post the httpd.conf file if that would be helpful. Here is the result of httpd -V:
