By mistake if you have used wrong port while configuring SLB, the oms will not come up.

./emctl secure oms -sysman_pwd xyz123 -reg_pwd abc123 -host hostname -secure_port 443 -slb_port 443 -slb_console_port 443

You will be getting below error while starting the oms.

./emctl start oms

Starting WebTier…
WebTier Could Not Be Started
Error Occurred: WebTier Could Not Be Started
Please check /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms11g/em/EMGC_OMS2/sysman/log/emctl.log for error details

when you check the log, basically the apache will not start. You can see the error in /u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms11g/WebTierIH1/diagnostics/logs/OHS/ohs1/ohs1.log

The error will look like

[pid: 9633918] [tid: 1] [user: oracle] [VirtualHost: main] (13)Permission denied:  make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
[pid: 9633918] [tid: 1] [user: oracle] [VirtualHost: main]  no listening sockets available, shutting down

3918] [tid: 1] [user: oracle] [VirtualHost: main]  Unable to open logs

you will have to change the port back in

/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/oms11g/WebTierIH1/config/OHS/ohs1/httpd_em.conf

note there will be a backup file automatically taken whenever any change to above file. Overwrite the correct copy with incorrect one.
