I had this same problem with apache2 a while ago.  I also found that, once 
I started apache with ssl, I couldn't also run it without ssl.  Since it 
was a production server and I was in no mode to troubleshoot, I reverted to 
apache13 w/ mod_ssl, which works just fine for me.  I never got around to 
investigating it further, but I've seen this complaint on the list 
periodically for some time now.
