Ron, Thanks for your help on this. I modified the directory path based on your input: CustomLog "~/Library/Logs/apachelogs/access_log" common
I guess I need to understand more about relative paths. When I open my terminal window and type "cd ~", that is my home directory, correct? If I do an ls command, the Library folder is present, change directory to it and the apachelogs folder is present. I have modified the permissions for www for all these directories to "Read and Write". I still get the same error message when running the apachec tl or sudo httpd command. You know of another good directory to place the log file in so Analog can read it? Also, are you a MAC apache user?
