I may not know exactly what is wrong, but I had a similar problem with 
mod_ssl on Red Hat.  We had a specific user account also set up ( I believe 
this to be true ) but SSL would always bail and restart Apache.  It's a 
glitch in Red Hat.

Just a suggestion but since we changed to Debian, ssl was set up and so was 
Apache with a small amount of work.  It does just what I want and does it 
well.  No problems with logrotate either.  There was a time where we had 
Red Hat fixed, but it was to a point where when the darn thing restarted or 
power was lost or something happen to reboot, the command string had to be 
redone.  It wouldn't accomplish it with a script either, I remember.  So, a 
permanent fix was not found.

Hope this doesn't confuse you more.
