Re: [logs] Central log server for Apache and qmail log files

monroe@private

There seems to be a slight error in your custom log statement, as given
issuing a restart to httpd will error with: 
"CustomLog takes two or three arguments, a file name, a custom log
format string or format name, and an optional "env=" clause (see docs)"

To correct this change 
CustomLog "| /usr/bin/logger -t 'apache_access_log' combined"

to be 
CustomLog "| /usr/bin/logger -t 'apache_access_log'" combined

Thanks,

JC
