Either Address or SocketFrom (see below) must be present in each ListenHTTP section.

ListenHTTP directive: Port n

The port number or service name (as per /etc/services that this listener will listen on. This directive must be present, unless the Address directive specifies a UNIX socket.

ListenHTTP directive: SocketFrom "pathname"

Read the socket to listen on from the UNIX socket supplied by pathname. If this parameter is supplied, neither Address nor Port may be used. This parameter is intended for use in pound testsuite.
