So, i've already sucessfully installed ssl certificates in apache virtual hosts (2 websites) but i'm unable to access them because every time I activate SSL in httpd.conf apache service wont start
</IfModule>
# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
#
# Note: The following must must be present to support
# starting without SSL on platforms with no /dev/random equivalent
# but a statically compiled-in mod_ssl.
#
<IfModule ssl_module>
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
</IfModule>
Here it is my httpd-ssl.conf
#
# This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support.
# It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to
# serve pages over an https connection. For detailed information about these
# directives see <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ssl.html>
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config, mod_setenvif, mod_ssl,
# socache_shmcb_module (for default value of SSLSessionCache)
#
# Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG):
# Configure one or more sources to seed the PRNG of the SSL library.
# The seed data should be of good random quality.
# WARNING! On some platforms /dev/random blocks if not enough entropy
# is available. This means you then cannot use the /dev/random device
# because it would lead to very long connection times (as long as
# it requires to make more entropy available). But usually those
# platforms additionally provide a /dev/urandom device which doesn't
# block. So, if available, use this one instead. Read the mod_ssl User
# Manual for more details.

#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/random 512
#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/random 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 512
#
# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the
# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port
#

## SSL Global Context
##
## All SSL configuration in this context applies both to
## the main server and all SSL-enabled virtual hosts.
##
# SSL Cipher Suite:
# List the ciphers that the client is permitted to negotiate,
# and that httpd will negotiate as the client of a proxied server.
# See the OpenSSL documentation for a complete list of ciphers, and
# ensure these follow appropriate best practices for this deployment.
# httpd 2.2.30, 2.4.13 and later force-disable aNULL, eNULL and EXP ciphers,
# while OpenSSL disabled these by default in 0.9.8zf/1.0.0r/1.0.1m/1.0.2a.
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!MD5:!RC4:!3DES
SSLProxyCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!MD5:!RC4:!3DES
# By the end of 2016, only TLSv1.2 ciphers should remain in use.
# Older ciphers should be disallowed as soon as possible, while the
# kRSA ciphers do not offer forward secrecy. These changes inhibit
# older clients (such as IE6 SP2 or IE8 on Windows XP, or other legacy
# non-browser tooling) from successfully connecting.
#
# To restrict mod_ssl to use only TLSv1.2 ciphers, and disable
# those protocols which do not support forward secrecy, replace
# the SSLCipherSuite and SSLProxyCipherSuite directives above with
# the following two directives, as soon as practical.
# SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!SSLv3:!kRSA
# SSLProxyCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!SSLv3:!kRSA
# User agents such as web browsers are not configured for the user's
# own preference of either security or performance, therefore this
# must be the prerogative of the web server administrator who manages
# cpu load versus confidentiality, so enforce the server's cipher order.
SSLHonorCipherOrder on
# SSL Protocol support:
# List the protocol versions which clients are allowed to connect with.
# Disable SSLv3 by default (cf. RFC 7525 3.1.1). TLSv1 (1.0) should be
# disabled as quickly as practical. By the end of 2016, only the TLSv1.2
# protocol or later should remain in use.
SSLProtocol all -SSLv3
SSLProxyProtocol all -SSLv3
# Pass Phrase Dialog:
# Configure the pass phrase gathering process.
# The filtering dialog program (`builtin' is an internal
# terminal dialog) has to provide the pass phrase on stdout.
SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin
# Inter-Process Session Cache:
# Configure the SSL Session Cache: First the mechanism
# to use and second the expiring timeout (in seconds).
#SSLSessionCache "dbm:${SRVROOT}/logs/ssl_scache"
SSLSessionCache "shmcb:${SRVROOT}/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300
# OCSP Stapling (requires OpenSSL 0.9.8h or later)
#
# This feature is disabled by default and requires at least
# the two directives SSLUseStapling and SSLStaplingCache.
# Refer to the documentation on OCSP Stapling in the SSL/TLS
# How-To for more information.
#
# Enable stapling for all SSL-enabled servers:
#SSLUseStapling On
# Define a relatively small cache for OCSP Stapling using
# the same mechanism that is used for the SSL session cache
# above. If stapling is used with more than a few certificates,
# the size may need to be increased. (AH01929 will be logged.)
#SSLStaplingCache "shmcb:${SRVROOT}/logs/ssl_stapling(32768)"
# Seconds before valid OCSP responses are expired from the cache
#SSLStaplingStandardCacheTimeout 3600
# Seconds before invalid OCSP responses are expired from the cache
