[users@httpd] Changing Log directory

[Aaron Paxson <ap...@ncegifts.com>]

I need to change the log directory for my Apache web server.  I've set up a
separate drive with it's own controller to increase performance for my logs,
and have mounted it as /var/log.

How can I properly change my /usr/local/apache/logs to that directory?  I've
modified my 'config.layout' to change the 'logfiledir:' to the new log path,
but when I try to start up Apache:

[Sun Nov 23 11:43:52 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory: could not
open transfer log file /usr/local/apache/$/var/log/apache/access_log.
Unable to open logs

I have no idea why it still places the {prefix} into the path.  I even
changed the runtimedir to use this location as well, just as a guess.  What
did I do wrong?

Huge thanks in advance!!
Aaron

Not much :-) You just need to study $yourapacheconfdir/httpd.conf
Maybe you read this too http://httpd.apache.org/docs/logs.html
