Manually, as opposed to what?

Let's try to solve your problem...

What is the output of the following command?
httpd -S

What is in your error log?

Do you have the correct NameVirtualHost statement somewhere?

Thank you for the suggestions - I hadn't checked the Apache error log,
and in that log I found the error:
"(13)Permission denied: /home/account1/public_html/.htaccess
pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable"

.htaccess was already readable so I'm not sure what the cause of this
problem was, but after googling it seems this is solved by
reinstalling Frontpage extensions (which I'd uninstalled earlier). I
was then able to uninstall the extensions again and the issue did not
reappear. Strange error.
