I have experienced similar troubles, and I discovered the culprit to be changing
the user that Apache runs as. If you watch your processes, right after starting
Apache -DSSL (I use 'ps wuax | grep httpd'), you may get a bunch of zombie httpd
processes. I discovered that changing the user without changing the permissions
on the Apache logfile directory, where the .pid file and such are also created,
the server dies. I know that's vague, but check the permission on
/usr/local/apache/logs (assuming that location--with the rpm, I would guess so)
and tweak with them a bit.
