Ok, so my "problems" started because I had SElinux running and somehow
I do not have it properly configured so that the apachectl/htppd scripts
would work correctly, is that it?

I tested this theory out by restoring the original scripts and adding
selinux=0 to grub, rebooted, and everything worked like a charm.

Ok, so if I wanted to restore SElinux capability so that httpd would
properly start up, what is it that I need to do, or if you want me to
RTFM, can you provide me a starting place?  What I noticed was that
under SElinux, the httpd failed to run because of something regarding
port 8090 for which FrontPage uses as a Virtual Server in that the httpd
daemon did not have the permissions to create this port/socket and so
httpd daemon failed to start.

Until I can figure this out, I will have my box running w/o SElinux.
Thanks for pointing this out.
