I ran into something simular myself a couple of times, with the only
difference that I build apache myself, and not through a kit.

check your error_log, should be in <apachedir>/var/log or something
simular, it might give you an idea what goes wrong.

It's odd how apachectl start gives you an okay, apachectl configtest does
too, and yet the darn thing won't start.

AFAIK, the problem when I had it was with some lib.*.so it couldn't find
at the time, after toying with ldconfig once it was resolved.
