In other words, it starts a process that runs in the background.  That
process will generally write to various log files, as defined in
httpd.conf.

In all cases, it should cause SOMETHING to be written to /var/log/system.log.

If the httpd server is stopped, try running

sudo /usr/sbin/httpd

If there is a syntax error in your configuration file, it will output
a message to stderr.

I have a new MacBook Air.  I'm running macOS Catalina.  I ran
setupmymac on it.  I'm attaching my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file.
Perhaps that might help.
