how to fix the 'Apache Restart Fails' problem on Ubuntu 10.04

I've followed the official guide for installing OSQA on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (VPS) properly, but after completing all steps when I restart apache - it says [fail] (instead of [ok]).. and I don't see anything on my website. Any help will be appreciated.
When I checked out the log files - here is something that might be relevant to the problem :
/var/log/apache2/error.log

@rkjha, this posting is more a problem report than a question. OSQA bugs should be reported at jira.osqa.net, and OSQA support issues should go to support@osqa.net.

Additionally, all meta.osqa.net postings are required to have a clear, specific question in their title field. Please correct the title of this posting right away. Thanks.

@rickross, I've updated the title && reported it as a bug on jira.osqa.net.. Thanks for the quick response..

I got my problem solved after few experiments ..such as
(1) removed two lines from virtual host configuration file (I think this was creating some kind of problem) :
# CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/osqa.access.log common
# ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/osqa.error.log
(2) installed mod_wsgi from source(because somewhere I read on WEB that 'the error might be due to a bug in wsg') instead of installing it from apt-get
Having Fun! :)
