Re: Question on Apache log.

[Mike Burger <mburger compucomis net>]

Stop apache, remove the logs, again, and simply restart apache.  Apache
will create its own log files...you don't need to "touch" them first.

By simply "touch"ing the files, you wind up with files that are not owned
by the right user and don't have the correct permissions for apache to log
to them.
