make sure no server is running on port 80 or use an alternate config with
an alternate port if you are on a production server.
cd /usr/local/apache/bin # where ever your binary is
gdb httpd
set args -X -f /path/to/alternate/serverconfig_ifneeded.conf
run
it should blow up!
then,
bt
this will show you a backtrace of what was happening when it blew up.
post that to the list and we may be able to come up with some better
guesses as to the problem. make sure to include versions of apache,
mod perl and perl.
hope this helps,
