all the xcat log entries are placed in local4 facility with respective

I have opened a defect to track this problem(

Hi,
After updating to xCAT-2.8.4-snap201405120509.x86_64 the /install
directory of the xcatmaster's httpd is not available any more because
the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/xcat.conf is missing. Is this intended?
