THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

ServerRoot

The 

ServerRoot

 directive sets the directory in which the server resides.

The default directory is 

/usr/local/etc/httpd

, since this directory

contains the subdirectories 

conf/

 and 

logs/

. Relative paths for other

configuration files are assumed to be defined with respect to the

ServerRoot

 directory.

The following is an example:

ServerRoot /usr/local/etc/httpd

For more information, see:

http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#serverroot

ErrorLog

When your web server encounters an error it will use the definition

specified in the ErrorLog directive to handle the error. Typically, a filename

is specified to which your web server appends the error information. If the

filename definition does not begin with a slash (/) then it is assumed to be

relative to the 

ServerRoot

. If the filename begins with a pipe (|) then it is

assumed to be a command which is to be spawned by the web server to

handle the error information.

The following is an example:

ErrorLog logs/error_log

For more information, see:

http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#errorlog

LogLevel

The

 LogLevel

 directive adjusts the verbosity of the messages recorded in

the error logs (see 

ErrorLog

 directive). The following levels are

available, in order of decreasing significance: 

emerg

, 

alert

, 

crit

,

error

, 

warn

, 

notice

, 

info

, 

debug

. When a particular level is

specified, messages from all other levels of higher significance will be

reported as well; i.e. when a log level of 

warn

 is specified, messages with

levels of 

emerg

, 

alert

, 

crit

, and 

error

 will also be logged.

The following is an example:

LogLevel warn
