Okay, nothing's going to work unless httpd is running. You need to fix that first.
Just based on what you've posted here, I would suspect that something is messed up with your httpd.conf file (if the error message says something about httpd.conf), but it could be many other things. If you post the entire error message, someone may be able to help you.
