It should tell you exactly what has gone wrong in the logs, take a look in /var/log/httpd/..., and tail the files in there.

If you can't work it out, post up the last few entries and we'll try to help.

Hello

#httpd -t should give you the syntex error.

if you're running some redhat type system, check on selinux. it is notorious for causing mysterious failures in a system if its enforced.

I would recommend you to check the error logs first, It will give you an
clear idea what went wrong or whats wrong .

One of the top reasons things like this fail is a change in permissions.

you can also do:

service httpd configtest

If its configuration-related.
