By far the most likely scenario is that inetd is running, and inetd.conf lists
port 80 as one of those listened on by the super server.  Either inetd.conf
should be modified so that it correctly starts the real http server, or
inetd.conf should be modified so that inetd has no responsibility for port 80.
