While apachectl is a great script for testing your apache configuration, the one thing that it won't check for is if the log files can be created. If, for example, you have: TransferLog /usr/local/www/server/logs/access_log but /usr/local/www/server/logs/ doesn't exist, it will tell you that the syntax is ok, but it won't be able start apache, and the error log (if it can be created) isn't much help either. Make sure the paths leading up to all of your log files exists.
