can you check as,

# netstat -na | grep 80

Do you have in /etc/services file as,

http 80/tcp www # World Wide Web HTTP
http 80/udp www # World Wide Web HTTP

Did you configure Listen TAG in httpd.conf with ip-address of your machine?

like,

Listen 10.31.77.134:80

or

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

It will work.

This could be because of the following,

1. Insufficient privileges.
2. 80 port already been used up by some other daemon.
3. Incorrect configurations.

i am starting apache from bin...??

You can not start apache then. You must be a root to startup apache. Check this,
