I'll try to help, but I'm not very knowledgable about apache (and my web server runs 
RH6.2, not RH7 -- I think a few things changed, such as locations of files, etc) -- 
maybe someone else on the list who is more knowledgable about apache will jump in...

Here's a few things you might try:

(1) Check out:  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#lockfile -- does this 
describe your situation?

(2) What happens if you mannually try to start httpd, "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start"?  
Do you get any additional error messages which might indicate what is going wrong?

(3) Look in /var/httpd/ for any stale lock files (httpd.lock.#).  Assuming httpd is 
not running, delete the lock files.

(4) Are your disk(s) full?  What's the output from df -h?
