Stefan,

Build at r1226558, post both these revisions.
Missing main log directory shows up on console if started from there, or 
Eventlog (syslog) if started as service
c:\Apache24\bin>httpd
(OS 2)The system cannot find the file specified.  : AH02291: Cannot 
access directory 'c:/Apache24/lo
gs/' for main error log
AH00014: Configuration check failed

vhost specific, shows in error log

   CustomLog "\\some\\bogus\\path\\access.log" common
[Fri Jan 13 11:20:30.038382 2012] [log_config:error] [pid 420:tid 636] 
(OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified.  : AH00649: could not 
open transfer log file c:/some/bogus/path/access.log.
AH00015: Unable to open logs

Looks fine!

Cheers,

Gregg

that's OK I think. The change only implements the check for the error 
logs. I will add the same check for the access logs now that it is 
confirmed that the check works with backslashes and drive letters. 
Thanks for the testing.

Cheers,
Stefan

In the spirit of PR 229941 and for the vhost specific part, no it's not 
fine. It does not show to console and Apache does not just ignore that 
vhost and move on, it stops, so you need to dig into the logs. Being an 
enhancement PR no foul.
