Passphrase? In which case, you need to get the correct passphrase.

Do you have another instance of apache running? It says that something's
already using this. Also, why is the ssl module loaded twice? Do you have
a module load in a file that is read prior to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf?
Remember, they're read alphabetically.

Because you've got it defined in your configuration files that way.

You're still trying the godaddy ssl, as well as the self-signed one. And
does that file exist?

Perhaps you might want to read the apache documentation on their website
for the version of apache you're running; specifically, the ssl page?
