[olug] apache logging

[Brian Roberson]

Send your httpd.conf - (trimmed down to only the things you have changed in
it) and we can help. Apache logfile's are written by root, no matter what
the uid/gid context you have setup in your config

Hello list...

I am having a problem with Apache not logging anything.  It is probably 
due to file permissions, but maybe to config issues.

My content/log directories are owned by root/staff and set to 775. 
 Apache runs as webuser/webgroup.  I don't want to make my users part of 
the "web services" group, nor do I want to make Apache part of my 
"trusted users" group.  What's a good security policy for file 
permissions here?

Do I need to specify TransferLog in addition to CustomLog in the conf 
file?  How do I specify the log type then?  Maybe it's piping the logs 
through rotatelogs that's causing the problem?

As you can probably tell, this is my first time with Apache.  Reading 
the docs and googling have not (yet) turned up answers for me.  I'd like 
to get Apache set up properly and tweaked to my liking before I start 
trying to add stuff on top of it.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
