I was in your exact boat yesterday, (except I use RH 8), and my problem
turned out to
be that the default, out-of-the-box ssl.conf file has ssl logging to
logs/whateverLogFile,
and I don't have a logs subdirectory where I keep my ssl.conf.

I commented out all the logging lines (and hopefully everything will work
when I replace
them with the real paths to the real logs) and it started up right away with

/usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL.

I wish it would have complained about this everytime I tried to start it up
rather than
just returning a prompt as if everything was fine...

2) I created my key and self-signed cert in /apache2/conf/ .



3) I configured apache2/conf/ssl.conf to point to the correct key and cert

I stop httpd and run apachectl startssl with no complaints, but only httpd
starts, not httpsd, and nothing gets logged. I have no idea how to track

There's no such thing as httpsd under Apache 2.0.x. That's an
Apache-SSL-ism, and Apache2 uses mod_ssl. HTTP and HTTPS are served by
the same daemon process(es).
