Maybe you forgot the Port directive?
Did you register the new IP?

Let me rephrase the question.

I originally had apache set to listen to port 8015 when I was using that
port. It worked fine.

Recently, we gave that box its own IP address, so we routed traffic normally
(on port 80).

I didn't delete the listen command...I simply changed it to 'Listen 80',
thinking it would work.

However, leaving that line in the config file disabled the server. If I
removed it completely, it worked fine.

My question was, why is that?

My best guess is that something else changed inbetween the non-working and
working server that you didn't realize. I have never heard of any problems
with the "Listen 80" configuration.

On port 80?

I don't suppose you could've typed "Listen 8O" by any chance...
