Whenever I try to start apache server on my local development computer I get prompted an error message as follows:

The requested operation has failed

httpd.conf was not tampered with. How do I set it up to work?

Do you see anything helpful in /var/log/httpd/error_log? – Christopher Karel Feb 4 '10 at 16:10

What OS/distribution? What did you type to start apache? Has it worked before? What changed? You might also want to try 'apachectl configtest' – dotplus Feb 4 '10 at 16:11
What OS are u using ? In cent os/ redhat it will be under /etc/httpd/logs . The error log should be able to give more information. – sethu Aug 20 '11 at 18:02

Check the path in services.msc relating to Apache (default is Apache2.2 I think) to see if it matches path to your httpd.exe.

That fixed it for me.
