Re: [PATCH] LogRoot directive
I guess I need to ask... why? What's wrong with putting "logs/" in front
of all the log filenames and getting it relative to serverroot... drop a
symlink in the filesystem?
Oh wait, are you on a half-baked operating system?

Join is a hideous kludge, and shouldn't be used :-) Well, neither should
NT.

I consider those OS's broken though... besides they have a kludge called
JOIN that does the job ;)

The reason I was appending logs was 'coz I'd lost my mind temporarily, and
forgotten that the default httpd.conf ships with logs/ prepended to the
log filename. However, you're right -- on some OS, symlinks aren't really
an option, so if you want to relocate your logs to somewhere else (drive
space, performance, whatever), then you don't have much choice. Every
other web server that I've worked with has some kind of equivalent.
