It isn't clear from your description whether you are adding an IP alias 
using a non-standard listening port, if you are just adding a second 
listening port on the same IP, or changing the port from 80 to 1185.

This wouldn't happen to be a Red Hat system running SELinux where you 
need to adjust the rules to allow the httpd process to access the 
otherwise non-privileged port, 1185? The kernel log entry above suggests 
this is the problem.
