I had a similar problem in CentOS, could not start the services with the command line, but if you go to the folder where you installed Apache, Mysql, Php,....there should be an executing file called "Manager-Linux.run", double click on it and select the "Manage Servers" tab, then at the bottom you should have a button called "Start All", click on it and wait a few seconds, they should start....

As you can see (or *should* see), there is bug in that shell script. They mixed up the filenames "error_log" and "error.log". Simply fix that error in the script (look onto your harddisk, whether error.log or error_log is the correct name).
