I was briefly able to access your site just now, and it was presenting a self-signed cert for a li-xxx.members.linode.com host. so you at least had that working…

what error is apache giving you when you try to start?

I have two domains on the same linode, with one apache server. When I tried to disable the new domain, apache started fine, with of course only one domain accessible. When I tried to enable both domains, apache won't start. By the way, both SSL certificates (for both domains) are commercial certificates, so that should not show up as self-signed? I don't know what was set wrong.

Here's the /var/log/apache2/error.log file.

Looks like you have it up now? At least the cre8ivewear.com sites are working. What is the other domain?

Also, you're still using a self signed cert:

Is your apache config referencing the correct SSL certificate file(s)?~~
