Probably you have a wrong config file. Read the Apache documentation and give the correct values for the VirtualHost directives in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

plz post config file constraints i'll try to match it with that...

The rules for config file can be found at the above link. However it may be easy to analyse the problem if you could post your config file (Don't forget to remove the inline comments).

one possible solution is here:

Address already in use: make sock: could not bind to address

How did you get that stuff in your httpd.conf file. Have you edited it, either by using some tool or manually. Because a fresh httpd.conf file won't contain these values.

Probably the port 5000 is in use or blocked.

actually i was edited it with webmin .....
while configuring apache for new web host..
