Yeah, doesn't look corrupt, hmmm...

I grabbed the entire thing and dumped it into notepad++ and saved it as test.crt on my desktop.. it is valid.

I realized, OpenSSL updated in that last yum update. wonder if it broke something.

This is a pretty basic install.

Seems likely under the circumstances.

I just turned off SSL and it httpd started.

but all clients for ownCloud use https.. /sigh...

I'm using Letsencrypt for my ownCloud [personal] set up. It works great!

I am doing so also, but this specific system is actually not accessible off network (at this time). So I chose to use a StartSSL certificate.

I have not gotten back to this yet. I just updated a couple users to use http for the short term. this is on my today or tomorrow list depending on how today goes.

This has magically resolved itself.

I was finally able to come back to this tonight. Prior to doing anything, I

rebooted the server again.
ensured ownCloud was working via http.
uncommented the certificates in ssl.conf
restarted httpd
it successfully restart.

I changed nothing in the last week. I never even logged into the damned server.

I don't need this shit. I need to know what is happening so that when I reboot again next month, I can be confident the damned thing comes up.

Seriously upset about this. I will be rebooting the machine a few times today trying to make it do it again.
