Title: CustomLog Directive Problems: httpd fails to start
This is getting very frustrating.  I am trying to change the location for the write of my access_log file through the CustomLog Directive.  In the apache install for the mac, it is currently located in

/private/var/log/httpd/access_log

I have created a new folder in my home directory at the following location

/Library/Logs/apachelogs

I have modified the CustomLog Directive to reflect that

CustomLog “/Library/Logs/apachelogs/access_log” Common

, when I stop and start apache through the apachectl command, httpd fails to start.  I receive the following:

sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
 Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/bgkent.conf
 Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/billkent.conf
 Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/lauren.conf
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

The only sense I can make of this is the labels in front of .conf are all the user profiles set up on my computer.  Do I need to make this a relative path starting from the Macintosh hard drive?  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill Kent
