Two hints:
1. If you already spent one week and want to stop wasting time, you're
_strongly_ encauraged to first try a Apache+mod_ssl+OpenSSL installation
_exactly_ as it's described in the INSTALL file or the website. This way
you get a running system first and as the second step you can try to change
your config, your certs/keys, etc. Don't try to do all at once.
2. If your keys make problems, check first with "openssl rsa -noout -text -in
<filename>" that the file can be read. If this already fails, you don't
have to complain mod_ssl or search for a solution at the mod_ssl edge. Then
it's already either an issue of OpenSSL or even with your key itself.
Same for the certificates: Check whether OpenSSL can read them
correctly with "openssl x509 -noout -text -in <file>", first.
