Mine are:
drwx------  2 root root    4096 Feb 18 16:49 /var/log/httpd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  831969 Feb 18 17:02 /var/log/httpd/access_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  513620 Feb 18 17:02 /var/log/httpd/agent_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   86598 Feb 18 16:48 /var/log/httpd/error_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  480296 Feb 18 17:02 /var/log/httpd/referer_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2701843 Feb 18 17:02 /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root root       0 Mar 23  2004 /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log

So try:
# cd /var/log/httpd
# touch access_log agent_log error_log referer_log rewrite_log 
ssl_access_log
# chmod 644 access_log agent_log error_log referer_log rewrite_log 
ssl_access_log
# service named restart

Paul.
