I found the issue: When you use the TAR-ball installer you have to disable 
SELinux first. Or otherwise CCEd, Apache and AdmServ won't start.

Instructions for disabling SELinux can be found here:

http://sysdigg.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-disable-selinux-in-centos-5.html

I'll change the installer script so that it complains if SELinux is on and 
that it gives instructions on how to turn it off.
