Do all the required directories exist? Also be sure that the apache user can 
cd into the log file directories - if created as root this may not be the 
case.I've had this problem before and so to be on the safe side I touch all 
new log files and chown them to apache. Of course this will show up in the 
server log. Unless it can't write to that, either...
