Stop the httpd /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd or "killall httpd".
then run httpd -X on the console.

See if that spits out any errors. It should.
You als did check /var/log/error_log did you?

btw I use to compile without modules (don't know why).
httpd binary gets fatter but what the heck. Modules should _NOT_ be different.
Good results so far.

You did do a "make distclean" before reconfiguring did you ;-)
That makes sure your config.cache gets wiped.

(I'll try it for you over here on my qube)
