jaydon, we need more info, though this is much more a system configuration problem than a Perl problem and would probably better be discussed on a system admin board than PerlMonks. What has almost certainly happened is that somebody changed a configuration value on the server using an active program (ifconfig or route add or something like that) but did not change the disk-resident bootup configuration files to reflect that change. Given that it's port configuration that's being bounced, I'd look first with ps to see if the httpd daemons are actually running. 
 ps -a | grep httpd

Then, i'd look at /etc/inetd.conf (not sure if that's what Solaris uses; that's the FreeBSD name for it) or /etc/services to make sure that those ports are enabled.

Beyond that, we'd need more info on what's running where and how it all is set up.

update: Solaris appears to have a few variations in its ps from what I'm used to: ps -A or ps -e would be more appropriate.
