In each virtualhost section within your apache config file...
ErrorLog /home/<username>/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/<username>/logs/access_log common
or
ErrorLog /home/<username>/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/<username>/logs/access_log combined
which adds more detail, particularly in the referrer fields.. This is
configurable in the httpd.conf file as well.
You MUST make sure the logs directory exists in the user's directory. If
it isn't there, apache will not restart. If a user removes the
directory, apache won't restart. There are some scripts, one which is
part of Webmin, which will deal with this for you.
I normally add these lines after DocumentRoot and before directory
options, but it really doesn't matter. Just don't put them within
<directory> areas.
