What's this about ssl.conf? Are you "including" this file into httpd.conf at runtime? If so, I have a nasty suspicion that you have two SSL VHs defined - perhaps an old one in httpd.conf which is trying to Listen to port 433 (therefore causing a no permission error when you try to start as a normal user) but when you do start as root still fails because its docroot or certificates or something is missing (since it is an old VH - anything is possible). Can you thoroughly check (or even post!) all your config information...
