If you put in an obvious syntax error and then restart the server, does it give you an error message? I had previously bumped up a different directive (changed LogLevel from warn to debug) and I believe it was the error log that was flooded with more descriptive information, so I know that at least apache is reading the httpd.conf file. Actaully, it was filling the log file so fast that users could no longer get into Apache so I had to bump it down a couple of levels. > > Did you comment-out the existing CustomLog directive? > There were no other uncommented CustomLog directives (default httpd.conf > file).

If there is no CustomLog (or TransferLog) directive, then apache will not write an access_log file. Could the default be set in the httpd-std.conf file. I do not know the purpose of that file, but I see them set there. Going back to your first message, I'm also a little concerned that you may be mixing up the error_log and access_log. Only the latter is controlled by CustomLog. I actually do a "tail" on all log files when I make a change, just to make sure I am not missing it. I guess I have a lot more reading to do, because I am missing something very basic if it is supposed to be as simple as just setting up the two directives. Thanks for the help.
