ErrorLog
The
ErrorLog
directive sets the name of the file to which the server will log any
errors it encounters.
ErrorLogfilename
|syslog[:facility
] Default: ErrorLog logs/error_log Server config, virtual host
If the filename does not begin with a slash (/), it is assumed to be relative to the server root.
If the filename begins with a pipe (|), it is assumed to be a command to spawn a file to handle the error log.
Apache 1.3 and above: using syslog
instead of a
filename enables logging via syslogd(8) if the
system supports it. The default is to use syslog
facility local7, but you can override this by
using the
syslog:
facility
syntax,
where facility
can be one of the names
usually documented in syslog(1).
Your security could be compromised if the directory where log files are stored is writable by anyone other than the user who starts the server.
