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...
