You're very welcome. For the sake of thoroughness, starting Apache as Administrator is necessary only when UAC (the User Account Control mechanism introduced with Windows Vista and present [in various forms] in all Windows operating systems thereafter) is enabled. Please note also that the Administrator requirement stems from the fact that Apache is installed to a "protected" directory (C:\Program Files). If you install Apache elsewhere, it will not necessarily require Administrator privileges to write to its logs.
