VHost Log files not working

I have vhosts defined as below but have not been able to get the site
log files to work. Any and all log msgs are being saved in the root log
files. I have tried using various paths to get the vhost logs to save
in the vhost files but have not been able to.

Things I have tried are:
ErrorLog d:/www/Capri/logs/error.log #apache won't start
CustomLog d:/www/Capri/logs/access.log common #apache won't start
ErrorLog www/Capri/logs/error.log
CustomLog www/Capri/logs/access.log common
ErrorLog /Capri/logs/error.log
CustomLog /Capri/logs/access.log common
ErrorLog Capri/logs/error.log
CustomLog Capri/logs/access.log common

Thanks for your help.
Jim

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod...html#errorlog:
If the file-path is not absolute then it is assumed to be relative to the
ServerRoot.

Hans,

Thank-you for your response. I see from reading that bit of
documentation that I need to remove the trailing slash from the docroot
lines so I have the following:

DocumentRoot d:/www/capri
ErrorLog logs/error.log
CustomLog logs/access.log common

If I understand the documentation correctly the lines below would
produce the following paths to the log files:

d:/www/capri/logs/error.log
d:/www/capri/access.log common

Would this be correct?

Cann't tell, documentroot is not the same as serverroot.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod...tml#serverroot
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod...l#documentroot

Hans,

Well, then I have a bigger problem than I want because my serverroot is:

ServerRoot "C:/ApacheGroup/Apache2"

If I make the paths absoulte as below then Apache will not start:

ErrorLog d:/www/Capri/logs/error.log
CustomLog d:/www/Capri/logs/access.log common

How does one get the log files for each vhost to work on a different
drive than the server has for root?

I suppose I could do the following to break out the log files for the
different vhosts:

ErrorLog logs/caprierror.log
CustomLog logs/capriaccess.log common

Doing that though would not allow other users access to the log files
because they have no access to drive C where the server root is.

Again - Thank-you,
Jim

No problems while testing for you using Apache 2.0.50 .

Did you create all folder along the path ??
Start apache from the command line and observe the errors reported.

Thank you for your help here. I have no idea what is different now but
it has started working now the way I intended it to work. Log files
have been created and accessed in each virtual host directory as I
wanted. I simply used the lines as follows:

ErrorLog d:/www/Capri/logs/error.log
CustomLog d:/www/Capri/logs/access.log common

I have tried that before! I know I have and the server wouldn't start.
Paths were all there before just no log files were being created.

Thanks again for all your help.
