[CentOS] cannot start or stop apache due to ssl changes

Apache was working with self signed certificate. We changed the ssl.conf
file to read certicates from godaddy and it it failed to restart because of
incorrecrt parphrase.

bash-3.2# /sbin/service httpd restart

Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

Starting httpd: Apache/2.2.3 mod_ssl/2.2.3 (Pass Phrase Dialog) Some of your
private key files are encrypted for security reasons.

In order to read them you have to provide the pass phrases.



Server tt.cs.sb.edu:443 (RSA) Enter pass phrase:

Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found.

**Stopped


 I then put the original ssl.conf back  (saved the ssl file with go daddy
changes to ssl_gd.conf) but could not stop or start apache and this was the
error

/sbin/service httpd start

Starting httpd: [Thu Mar 18 09:10:32 2010] [warn] module ssl_module is
already loaded, skipping [Thu Mar 18 09:10:32 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost
*:443 has no VirtualHosts (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not
bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not
bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs



I re-generated the self signed certificate keys and restarted the server.

/sbin/service httpd start is looking for ssl_gd.conf and NOT SSL.CONF;
Don't know how this happened?


Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 143 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl_gd.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/sslcertificate/gd.crt' does not exist or is
empty
                                                           [FAILED]

Can anyone give some pointers to solve this?
