I had a similar problem.... the upgrade FC4->5 did not properly upgrade
the httpd.conf file.

In my case the new conf file was created as /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak
Yyou may have more than one httpd.conf.* file... check the comments at
the top of the file... one of them will refer you to
    # See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/>

(Note version 2.2...) that's the one you want.

When I renamed that file as httpd.conf and restarted httpd all was well.

mv httpd.conf ./httpd.conf.old
mv httpd.conf.bak ./httpd.conf
service httpd restart

hth :-)
