I have made a diff on the original httpd.conf and my problematic

me out here, why wont apache start with this httpd.conf? Is it because

Look at your error log: /var/log/httpd/error_log (unless you have changed
it to somewhere else).
It will very likely have an error message specifying the problem.
It says nothing in that logfile, i think that the script runs some check on
my httpd.conf file before it even attempts to start httpd, and this check
fails, even though httpd likes my httpd.conf
Any ideas?
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.
