If running it as a service gives problems, try running it as a console
app. Then you can at least see the prints to stdout as well.
Have all the mod_ssl parameters been set up correctly? I.e. do you have
a valid certificate, with a private key file, etc. and are they all
correctly configured in httpd.conf?
Further, if you run it as a service, make sure it doesn't ask for your
private key password interactively, since that won't work. Instead, use
a private key without password or use a password program (but notice
I've been experiencing problems with the latter; it works only if you
run apache using the -X option. In regular mode, there's a redirection
problem. The password program is run, but mod_ssl never gets to see it's
output. That though is not a mod_ssl problem, but rather an apache
problem, documented (but yet unsolved) in the Apache bug list.)
