Thanks for your suggestions. httpd starts cleanly with nouser and nogroup fine as long as I'm not trying to pipe logs. If I only try to pipe access_log and not error_log, httpd starts but no access logs are created (I'm sending requests to the servers). The only difference I see in error_log are the following two lines: piped log program '/opt/httpd/bin/rotatelogs -fl /opt/httpd/logs/access_log.%d-%b 86400' failed unexpectedly [Wed Dec 07 06:08:13 2011] [error] (22)Invalid argument: setting of group failed They pop up a number of times throughout the error_log, presumably every time it's trying to write to access_log. I should note that I can run rotatelogs just fine from the command line as nouser or root. 2011/12/6 Jeff Trawick <trawick@xxxxxxxxx>: > On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 1:47 PM, Rob Landrito <rlandrito@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Greetings, >> >> I'm trying to used piped logs as described here: >> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#piped.
