...which looks okay, but Apache seems to crash and never starts listening. I only get the following in the logs directory..."...seems to crash..." - that's a bit vague...
Sorry, it does crash or at least doesn't completely start.
- is httpd running (ps -ef)? - what happens if you try to access the site? - what happens if you try "telnet <server> 8080"?
No, httpd is not running after executing "apachectl start"
- what's in the tail of the error log?
Here's the entire error_log output, with debug turned on...

access_log error_log ssl_request_log...the only modifications I made to the configuration files is to change the listening port to 8080, because I have an older Apache listening on 80,And is this older apache also listening on port 443?
No, it was only listening on port 80. I tried again after shutting down the older Apache, with the same result.
