I think the problem is that mapserver is a CGI program, not a module of Apache. If it were a module of Apache (for example, PHP) then its error report could be sent to the Apache error log. But as a separate process, it doesn't have access to the Apache log system. OCICBW
Perhaps if mapserver could be configured to write to its own error log the parameters it got called with, then you could more easily associate a particular web request with the mapserver error message. At the moment, the only way you can do that is by matching the time of the mapserver error entry with an apache log entry with the same time. But does mapserver actually have anything that looks like the web request that caused it to be called? What do you think?
