ahttpd dead but subsys locked

I couldn't get into the web GUI admin pages of my server.

Looking in the /var/log/httpd/adm_error log I saw the following entries.

Invalid certificates for main site -- Not starting SSL
[Thu Apr 20 14:00:36 2006] [crit] (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to port 444

Initially I simply tried restarting

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv: [: =: unary operator expected
Starting admin web server:
Invalid certificates for main site -- Not starting SSL

But this had no effect, so I

# ps waux | grep adm

And killed all the processes. Followed by :

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv status
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv: [: =: unary operator expected
ahttpd dead but subsys locked

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv: [: =: unary operator expected
Stopping admin web server:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv: [: =: unary operator expected
Starting admin web server:
Invalid certificates for main site -- Not starting SSL

However, attempting to access the pages now worked!
