See FAQ Section 4.32 for a solution.

You're having a similar problem... you can't acquire the lock because for whatever reason, the apache user doesn't own that file. You either need to give it write permission by changing the user to the user that apache runs under, or doing a general fix as described in FAQ C.15.
