A lot of data came back from this, but I could not see port 80 anywhere 
in it.

On the re-start there was a syntax error on line 19 of  
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/www.modecideas.com
*pected </Location> but saw </Directory>
I went through the file and resolved 4 errors with server start and stop 
each time. Finally, the prompt shows '*legal option ExeCGI
in the apache2/httpd.conf
Not sure what to do with that one. Thanks for the tip though -4 bugs 
less than before!
