Sounds as though:
- there's no ServerName set up in httpd.conf
  (the Could not determine...  error)
  - check and make sure the ServerName line is right for your domain (or
	just use localhost to test it out)
- you started the server once already and it's already listening on port
  80 (the make_sock error)
  - make sure the server isn't already running when you issue:
    apachectl start
- a perms problem exists on the logfile, again check the logfile setup
  in httpd.conf and make sure the file is writeable by the www user
  (although this problem may be related to the previous one)
