Hi, Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
The permissions in the /apache/logs directory are all -rw-rw-r-- however, in my attempt (temporarily) to get things working, i did chmod 777 on all directories - and this still didn't work (i got the rewrite lock error still). The reason why i am losing my patience with this problem, is that the error msg appears fairly self explanatory (in that apache appears not to have the correct permissions), but i cannot fix it.
