That logfile doesn't shed any light on this. The correct logfile for the
error messages would be /var/log/httpd/error_log

Try this:

Login by SSH as "admin". Use "su -" to gain root access.

Then issue this command to restart Apache:

/sbin/service httpd restart

If it fails with "cannot bind to :80" (or similar), then it means that
another HTTPd process is still running and didn't terminate properly.

You can check this with this command:

ps axf|grep httpd

If there are httpd processes around, they'll show. You can then use
these three commands to get it fixed:

killall -9 httpd
/sbin/service admserv restart
/sbin/service httpd restart

At the worst, issue an /sbin/reboot to reboot the box and everything
should come back up just fine.
