How are you starting apache?
As root using 'service httpd start?  or as a user?  Are you starting it
directly with /usr/sbin/httpd?

Apache must be started by root in order to establish the connections it
needs and to be able to write the lock files, etc. 

It must be stopped by root for the same reason.

The conf file needs to tell httpd what addresses to listen to,  Although
it will run without modifying the httpd.conf file its config will not be
set for your machine/domain correctly.
