[users@httpd] Empty error_log

Hi,

I'm running Apache 2.2.11 on Solaris 10_x86. I'm using webmin/ 
virtualmin to configure virtual hosts and there created fine. But al  
the error_logs are empty. Below is an example of the log lines in a  
config file of a virtualhost.

ErrorLog "|/etc/webmin/virtual-server/writelogs.pl 121992855025460 / 
home/massageafspraak.nl/logs/error_log"
CustomLog "|/etc/webmin/virtual-server/writelogs.pl 121992855025460 / 
home/massageafspraak.nl/logs/access_log" combined

When I restart the server the error_log file is created when it does  
not exist. But it stays empty forever, even I force an internal server  
error or a 404. The access_log works as aspected. I also tried to use  
the ErrorLog without the pipe, that doesn't work either. Permissions  
on both files are the same:

-rw-rw----   1 massageafspraak.nl nobody    168075 Sep 19  2008  
access_log
-rw-rw----   1 massageafspraak.nl nobody         0 Apr  6 15:59  
error_log

Apache is running as nobody:

   nobody 12520  9559   0 15:14:43 ?           0:00 /opt/csw/apache2/ 
sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL

and the user nobody has the primary group nobody.

When I restart apache these lines appear in the error_log of the  
server (/var/opt/csw/apache2/log/error_log)

I really don't know why the error_logs of the virtualhosts stay empty.  
I don't have any clues where to look for :(

Any ideas?

regards,
Martijn

Try eliminating webmin's piped logger.
