Your error log indicates that apache is expecting a certificate, but you say you have none installed. If you did not use a certificate in the past, I would highly recommend installing one. Without it, you are sending all your commands including your root password openly across the net.

I would install a certificate and drop it in the home/sites/home/cert folder. You do not have to purchase a certificate for this, simply create your own, self-signed certificate will be fine. Then try restarting the service.
