$ service httpd -D SSL -k start

Also, I found that restart does not always take new changes to my conf files.

$ service httpd -D SSL -k restart

Instead, use the stop then the start command to be sure.

$service httpd -D SSL -k stop
$service httpd -D SSL -k start

That was a source of much pain while working on this particular server.
