ServerRoot is "/etc/httpd" which IS a directory (and this works with
the /sbin start and is working on another machine). Another error
message on dovecot flew by. I'll deal with that a little later. Any
ideas about the httpd error, which does not, as far as I can find, show
up in any logs?

EXCELLENT! I tried disabling SELINUX and everything started up correctly!
I guess I have a little reading to do on SELINUX...

THANKS!
