Some operating systems do not allow binding to 0.0.0.0.
You need to add a Listen directive for whatever IP addresses
you wish to listen on (e.g., Listen 127.0.0.1:80).

The problem could be easily resolved if you check netstat -nato and the 
current proccess that occupies your port :80.

It could happen like that (to have problems starting Apache) if you have Skype 
installed. It uses port 80 by default if has connection problems.
