You should check your error_log and it will give you a clue.

try

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

httpd is trying to attach itself to port 203 but can't as something else is already running on that port. Try doing

httpd stop

then

ps -aux | grep httpd

If anything shows up apart from the grep command itself kill it off. Then try starting up httpd again. What hosting control panel are you using btw??
