As poj has hinted, your config changes to apache config files may have an error, preventing apache from starting. The error.log should show what the problem is.

The apache config should contain something like this:

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI Require all granted </Directory>
