A bit more information could be useful - versions/errors

I don't believe that there has been an update to httpd for C6 since
late october, with updates for a number of other things being
released since then too (some of which, if installed, would have
required a reboot). Knowing the httpd version you have installed
would be a useful bit of detail.

What does your logging show? If it appears that only httpd isn't
starting, I would check the httpd error log first. If that doesn't
show enough then try the /var/log/messages .
