There's a third possible culprit... selinux  Red Hat *swore* that
SELinux has been greatly improved, that there are default configs for
hundreds of apps, etc.  Yet, several times, I've had apache refuse to
start on a machine, and disabling selinux fixes it.

Look in /etc/selinux/config  If SELINUX= enforcing or permissive, change
it to disabled and reboot, and I'll bet apache fires right up.

Disabling SELinux isn't technically the "right" answer... you're
supposed to fix the context for the app in question until it does work.
