On my system, the general "dump" for log messages by default is
/var/log/messages. I greppe it for apache:

camille apache2 # grep apache /var/log/messages

Also, as per the website that suggested that this was a php problem and
that I should ldd php and curl files, I decided that my next step should
be to rebuild php. I issued an emerge -av php and noticed that it had
-curl on the use flags. I added the flag, and am rebuilding php. I
hope this solves my problem...
