relative log file locations in 2.0.41-dev

[Ask Bjoern Hansen <as...@develooper.com>]

It seems like the latest httpd from CVS doesn't prepend ServerRoot
to to log paths.  If I start the httpd like this,

/home/perl/apache2/bin/httpd -d /home/web/front/ -k start -e debug

I get an error that it can't open logs/error_log.

If I chdir to /home/web/front/ I don't get an error message, but the
httpd silently just exits.

If I change the log paths to absolute paths everything works fine.

Fixes the startup failure I was seeing earlier this a.m. on Win32.

can you check the latest CVS version now and see if it fixes your problem?
