Thanks for the hints. The problem was found. The httpd.conf that came with
SSLconf commented out the user and group setting for httpd to run as.
These settings are default to nobody in the apache sample conf file. I
just missed to set user / group in httpd.conf. It worked after putting the
2 parameters back in httpd.conf
