You have a configuration error that is not a syntax error. Typically I've
found 'silent deaths' tend to be things like log files being placed in
directories that don't exist or permissions errors. Check that every
file/directory explicitly referenced in your configuration file actually
exists and has appropriate permissions. Don't just visually scan the
httpd.conf - actually 'cut and paste' the names in the file to something
like a 'ls' command to verify you haven't typoed a file/directory name.
Also, check /var/log/messages to find out if SELinux doesn't like
something you are doing.
