Script log not logging
www_error_log and www_access_log are correctly generated, rotated, and
logged, but cgi_log does not appear. It doesn't seem like cgi access and
errors are reported in the www_error_log or in the www_access_log. What have
I done wrong here? I'm just starting to set up cgi.

Thank you Owen, however, there is more to it. I did what you suggested
but it still didn't work. It worked fine, however, after I omitted the
pipe to rotatelogs, which ScriptLog apparently does not like one single
bit. The lack of log rotation is tolerable, of course, since ScriptLog
should really only be used for debugging. I suppose rotatelogs can't be
used because it runs as root.

ScriptLogging is a little tricky. The main difference with the error_log
and transfer_log is that the logfile must be owned (or at least
writeable) by the apache User - i.e. not just by root. Secondly, the
file must exist before apache is started (it won't be created).
I usually do:
- login as apache User
- touch cgi_log
- su
- start apache
