Chef Error executing action `start` on resource 'service[httpd]'

Question

Here is my very basic recipes/default.rb file;

package "httpd" do
        action :install
end

node["apache"]["sites"].each do |sitename, data|
        document_root = "/content/sites/#{sitename}"

        directory document_root do
                mode "0755"
                recursive true
        end

template "/etc/httpd/conf.d/#{sitename}.conf" do
        source "vhost.erb"
        mode "0644"
        variables(
                :document_root => document_root,
                :port => data["port"],
                :domain => data["domain"]
        )
        notifies :restart, "service[httpd]"
end

end

service "httpd" do
        action [:enable, :start]
end

When I run the chef-client in the node it returns the following error:

Error executing action `start` on resource 'service[httpd]'
    ================================================================================

    Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed
    ------------------------------------
    Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'
    ---- Begin output of /sbin/service httpd start ----
    STDOUT: Starting httpd: [FAILED]

    Resource Declaration:
    ---------------------
    # In /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/apache/recipes/default.rb

     35: service "httpd" do
     36:    action [:enable, :start]
     37: end

    Compiled Resource:
    ------------------
    # Declared in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/apache/recipes/default.rb:35:in `from_file'

    service("httpd") do
      action [:enable, :start]
      supports {:restart=>false, :reload=>false, :status=>true}
      retries 0
      retry_delay 2
      default_guard_interpreter :default
      service_name "httpd"
      enabled true
      pattern "httpd"
      declared_type :service
      cookbook_name "apache"
      recipe_name "default"
    end

I've tried renaming it apache, changing the options to ':restart', commenting out entirely but that means httpd fails to start. I just need a simple way to restart the service after the chef run has completed.

Again, apologies for the novice question; I'm very new to coding.

Cheers

That's not a chef problem. Apache httpd reports

Syntax error on line 15 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/stedelahunty2.conf: order takes one argument, 'allow,deny', 'deny,allow', or 'mutual-failure'
