httpd server gone mad

Dear Fedora Folks!
Recently I was trying to install httpd local server on my FC11 machine. 
I need it for experiments with php/mySQL. First, I installed all the 
necessary packages:
yum -y install httpd php mysql mysql-server php-mysql
/sbin/chkconfig httpd on
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
/sbin/service httpd start
/sbin/service mysqld start
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'superbubersecretpassword'
It worked nice at the evening. I tested a few scripts like phpinfo(); 
and gone to sleep happily. Next day I begun to work on my project. I 
hadn't change any configuration of the server when suddenly it stopped 
to work. I recognized that when Firefox begun to display empty page, not 
my page.
I tried 'service httpd start' but got the error:
Starting httpd: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to 
address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 
0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
                                                           [FAILED]
Then I run 'netstat -lnp | grep '0.0.0.0:80' ' to find out witch process 
is using the address. To my surprise it was httpd itself! And more over, 
there's a lot of httpd processes: ps aux | grep httpd

How can I cure my Apache? Any thoughts?
