XAMPP startapache error on 64bit CentOS 5.4

I have installed XAMPP 1.7.1

When I start apache I get the error:
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache!
XAMPP: Starting diagnose...
tail: cannot open `/opt/lampp/logs/apachestart.log' for reading: No such file or directory

It seems to be somehow tied into the SSL part - however I have the exact same conf files on a 32bit system and it starts fine.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this sorted.

Thanks
Kate

Fixed.

Just in case this happens to anyone else.

It turned out that I had referenced a log folder in my httpd-vhosts.conf file but had given the folder a slightly different name inside the logs folder. As soon as I renamed the folder to what it expected apache started.
