Question

I am using Snow Leopard and Apache 2.2. I want to set APACHE_ERROR_LOG used in virtual host log settings.

Somehow my Errorlog setting is getting prefixed with usr/$. I am guessing it must be in some setting which right now I can’t figure out.

I get error in apache log as:

[error] (2)No such file or directory: could not open transfer log file /usr/$PATH_SPECIFIED_FOR_VIRTUAL_HOST_LOGS

Here is what was wrong. In one of the virtual host i has typo and it started with #. The http.conf has server-root configuration which says

# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "/usr"

It was terrible typo mstake.
