Right -- these files aren't created as part of the Apache install.  Did
you try "chmod a+rw /var/log/apache/*"?

I suspect that what happened was: the files got created when you ran httpd
from the command line (with your userid as the owner); then, when you
installed it as a service, the logs didn't get re-created, and SYSTEM
couldn't write to them...
