You didn't mention if SELinux was enabled or not. We don't currently
work correctly with SELinux. That said, it shouldn't have stopped apache
from starting up.

Same for the ACLs. That doesn't cause apache to fail to start, you just
get permissions errors when you try to do something.

The cases I've seen where apache won't start are because something is
wrong with the httpd config. That would explain why removing the
symlinks worked; in the process that removed /etc/httpd/conf.d/pulp.conf.

Make sure mod_wsgi and mod_python are both installed and running.
There's a wsgi conf file you can double check to make sure it's enabled
(it should be by default on Fedora 15, but still worth a look).
