Perhaps,you haven’t made appropriate changes in httpd.conf file.
You can check using:

#httpd -t

to check whether you have made any syntax errors as well.

root@stapp01 tony]# httpd -t
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 172.16.238.10. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

The error clearly states there is some issue with server name , check once in the file is the server name set correctly or not.

Look at this Error. It is because of port unavailability, just need free the port and start the application

If you see his reply his file states a different issue,
" Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message"
which is not the issue you stated.

The output suggests two errors but just the second one will prevent the service to be started, which is the end goal for the task

You can run #netstat -tulpn | grep 8083

to determine the status of the port
