Hi Matt I would consider running netstat to ensure that some other process is not already bound to the port(80) Also ( if you aren't doing so ) please consider using the "-v" verbose/debug flag in the pulse startup script: daemon pulse -v and monitor /var/log/messages to see if the underlying cause of >> SIOCGIFADDR failed: Cannot assign requested address is disclosed therein.
