You probably figured this out, but I haven't read any replies to it.

You probably need to edit the startup script /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd on
line 22 to it to:

daemon httpd -f /where/you/put/your/httpd.conf

this should make httpd use the httpd.conf file that you moved to someplace
other than /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

You might also want to check your httpd.conf file and make sure the
ServerRoot and DirectoryRoot directives are correct.
