I am simply trying to use the built in apache Server for Mac OS X Sierra, to view my websites using the http://localhost domain. When tailing my logs, I am getting the following errors:
max:ssl maxnelson$ ps -aef | grep httpd

Happy to provide more information, I've tried following every article and doing everything I could find online and have had no luck. Its perhaps worth mentioning that I generated a new self-signed certificate recently, and not sure if that could be affecting things as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.
As requested by the OP, I turn my comment into an answer.
You may have an other process listening on port 80. Check it with the command netstat -an | grep LISTEN
