Weird behaviour of Apache

Hello *,

I have reinstalled Debian/Lenny  and  apache  and  disabled  all  VHosts
except <server08> but now I get following Error:

----[ command 'invoke-rc.d apache2 start' ]-----------------------------
Restarting web server: apache2no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Where could the Socket problem come from?
2) I have checked all directories and they have the right permission

----[ command 'apache2ctl configtest' ]---------------------------------
Syntax OK
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sounds not very funny, because in general it is the same config  as
the the sever where <http://www.tamay-dogan.net/> is.

----[ '/VServer_08/APACHE_enabled/0_vserver08.tamay-dogan.net' ]--------

If I use -x in the apache2ctl Script I get:
