I suspect a problem with name resolution, in particular with your system
resolving its own hostname.
Check the output of these commands:
hostname
hostname -s
hostname -f
hostname -a
hostname -i
host `hostname`
host `hostname -i`
It should all be consistent.

Try "httpd" to start Apache manually, and see what it says.
Also, try "httpd -t" to run a syntax check on your config files (worth a
shot).

dmesg is for kernel messages only.
Did you check other files in /var/log/ ? In particular, "boot.log" may
contain output from the initscript that starts Apache (bit of a misnomer,
there).
