I noticed an inconsistency in the section that starts at line 24: # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local" will be interpreted by the # server as "/usr/local//var/log/foo.log". Obviously, the example states behaviour that is entirely contradictory to what is said above it. Assuming this was an error Apache itself i searched their CVS for this particular file, and found the following: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/httpd-2.0/docs/conf/httpd-std.conf.in?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.56 # If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "@rel_logfiledir@/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "@@ServerRoot@@" will be interpreted by the # server as "@@ServerRoot@@/@rel_logfiledir@/foo.log". Thus the replacement must have gone wrong. I'm not sure whether this is an error in the Apache-code or in the way portinstalls work. >How-To-Repeat: install the apache2 port >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
