Hmm ... nope, that didn't work either :( Just for fun I used an <IfModule> directive from an other module that is loaded ... i..e <IfModule ssl_module> which I know works on other configuration directives, but as soon as I put it around the CustomLog logs/access_log common statement, it does the same thing. This is absolutely bizarre!. It's almost as if the "CustomLog" configuration variable simply does not work when placed within <IfModule></IfModule> statements. --- httpd2@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Try adding .c to the directive.
