This is a warning, not an error.  Apache is still starting up.

You must be root in order to bind to ports below 1024, so you must run
"apachectl start" as root.

: Unable to open logs"

Another root thing, trying to open the Apache logs in a directory that
your normal account can't access but the root account can access.

: When running "sudo apachectl start" I only get this: 
: 
: "Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for 
Servername"

Again, this is a warning, not an error.  With sudo, "apachectl start"
gets run as root, so you do not encounter the previous errors.  And at
this point, Apache is running.
