>Release: 1.3.3
>Environment:
Linux 2.0.36 (Redhat 5.2)
>Description:
After installing Apache, upon executing httpd for the first time, I received
the error message "LogFormat takes 1-2 arguments, a log format string (see
docs) and an optional format name".
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I corrected the httpd.conf file myself by placing backslashes before the inside
quotation marks in the LogFormat directives.
The two corrected lines (lines 159 & 160) read as follows:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"{User-Agent}i\""
combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
Everything worked fine once I did this.
