Paulo,
You are not the first to get caught by this, and probably not the last.
It is apparently caused by a bug in alchemist. Phil Knirsch says he's
planning to rewrite the backend code of system-config-httpd over the
upcoming holidays, and hopes to have a fix available in early January.

Happy holidays...
