For future readers of this thread:

[alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname("hostname")

was the error in /var/log/httpd-error.log

Turns out I not only needed to set my hostname, but add it to /etc/hosts
as chronicled in this thread as well

Apache is running, next I move to Postgresql and PHP.
