How to install Apache web server in Fedora 14? Can yum be used for installing?

[Varuna Seneviratna]

Richard
        When I logged in as root and issued the command it started
working, the output was

Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using ::1 for ServerName

Since it is listning on port 80 am I safe from outside intrusions

When the command "service httpd start" is given the output is

Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using ::1 for ServerName
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
                                                          [FAILED]

Is there or can be a service be running on port 80 and if it is how do
I determine what it is and stop it.I am new to Fedora and Linux and I
do not know the way around much
