[Sussex] Unbinding Apache from an IP

[Al Bennett]

Thanks Guys, particularly John for proving I'm not going entirely insane!

Jon got me close by properly restarting Apache, which solved part of the 
problem.

I know this is possible, but for the life of me I can't get Apache and 
OpenSSH to play nice and stick to one IP address each.  One or the other 
will complain when being started that something is bound to *:80 when 
netstat shows that isn't true.

With a bit more experimentation I could probably have got this to work but 
I've run out of time as I'm off again tomorrow and this is a semi-production 
server and SSH is my only access, so I don't want to break it too badly!

Thanks for helping!

Al
