There is no such group: apache. Check your $webservergroup setting in
./localconfig.

Back on terminal.. What next??? I think it should ask me about administrative username and password etc

The error message specifies clearly what the problem is. In your localconfig file, there is a setting for the value $webservergroup (which is the Unix group your webserver runs with the permissions of). You have it set to "apache" (which, I believe, is the default) but there is no group in the system with that name. So you need to set it to the true name of the group your webserver runs as.

I am not familiar with bluehost but another common value is "www-data". To find out, do ps aux | grep apache and look at the first column. One may be root, but the next few will be the value you want.
