There should be a httpd-access.log -- 'ls -a' should show you the last
time it was modified, but reading the tail of it should show the last
time it was accepting input.

SIGHUP on apache22 is normal, as it is indicating a forceful shutdown
(restart).

This is a 'known issue'.  Irrelevant to your problems, AFAICT.

Edit either /etc/hosts or the vhost file to fix this -- whichever does
not contain the `hostname` info.

Try 'mv'ing httpd-error.log to httpd-error.log.bak and restarting
apache22 again -- see if this error persists.
