| Run a Syntax check on the config file
`which httpd` -t
Edit Apache httpd config file and change LogLevel to debug
LogLevel debug
Restart httpd and check the logs

| Yes, please tell us what does your "apache" error_log say. It should be located in your "/var/log/httpd" directory.

| It may be either a permission issue or ulimit issue. Can you see errors like "Too many open files in system" in the apache error logs. If yes, try increasing the ulimit value. Use command ulimit -n 4096 for the same.
If that seems to work, add 'ulimit -n 4096' in the apache init script also.

| Have a check if the log file size is huge. If it goes above 2 gb apache fails to start.

| SSH to your server and try to restart httpd service. See what errors it throws on the screen. If that doesnt show anything, look up the httpd logs at /var/log/httpd/error_log. It will show you the problem and the problem can be corrected as soon it can be tracked.
