You shouldn't run Wine as root...

You need to put it somewhere writeable to the user that your web
server is running as. Set the WINEPREFIX variable to the location of
your .wine directory. This directory MUST be owned by the user running
Wine.

Also make sure you don't call Wine with any untrusted parameters...

Check apache's error log again... For CGI scripts at least, it should
have everything that was written to stderr.... Not sure about PHP...
