Domtool sets up Apache to log to AFS.  See ~adamc/apache for an example 
of the directory layout and permissions.

Right now, Domtool expects these 'apache' directories to be 
subdirectories of users' home directories.  I set this convention back 
when we weren't giving users write permissions on their home volumes, 
but rather doing this for 'home' subdirectories.  Since we've reversed 
this decision, it's important that Apache logs go somewhere that users 
don't have write access to.  This is because deleting a virtual host's 
log directory will lead to Apache encountering a file-not-found error 
when it goes to open the logs, stopping Apache from starting up.

Following the way we're handling databases, I'm guessing that the 
consensus will be that Apache logs should get their own per-user 
volumes, and that these volumes will be created by adduser.  Does that 
sound like the right thing to do?

This log directory business is the last remnant that I can think of of 
the old AFS conventions with /afs/hcoop.net/usr/USER/home home 
directories.  Has anyone else spotted any others?
