Another thing that you should check is if the web server you are trying 
to run has to appropriate perms to use port 80.  On Unixy OS's, you 
usually need root power to listen to ports below 1024. 

Yeah, usually this is handled automagically by Apache and others, but 
you never know when some bit somewhere will stymy you.
