I'm a software engineer too so I appreciate trying to encapsulate often-used values but I'd say this might be one of those battles it wouldn't kill you to forfeit. That said, have you tried using relative paths for the error log path declarations? Or (my preferred solution) put them outside the document root; why bother putting them in the doc root and then making a directory override to disallow outside access to them when the simpler solution would be to just put them outside the web root and never ever worry about access rules. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
