"VirtualHost: main] child process 10597 still did not exit, sending" -> these may be misleading.. It may be during shutdown..  If the child processes can not shutdown, then the parent httpd process will send a "SIGKILL" to terminate all the processes. As the child processe(s) has not responded to a SIGTERM in the 1st instance this usually means it is  busy servicing requests or might have hung... These may be ignored.

But! You have Status 152 during start..
Start apache manually and "strace" it..

use something like this ( you may need to change it according to your env);
strace -f  -o /tmp/strace.out .apachectl start

we need to see the system call before failing.

Also, ensure you don't have any active security mechanism (selinux, firewall etc..) that may prevent apache from starting. Ensure you have all the necessary file permissions in place..

Ensure you have OS limits (ulimit) in place for the user that start the apache/OHS.

Ensure you don't have any space shortage in the filesystems..

You get status 152.. This one is for 150, but still check -> adapcctl.sh: exiting with status 150 (Doc ID 1106795.1)
