What is the directory path to the error logs for an Apache2/Redhat5.5 setup?
Also, something is wrong with my ~Google search strategy where I could not find this answer in less then 20 minutes? I.e., where should I be looking for configuration settings that are particular to Apache2/Redhat5.5 configurations?
By default it's /var/log/httpd/
It's not default, it's redhat-specific. Other distros may have /var/log/apache2/ (Ubuntu/Debian) or /var/log/apache/. It's usually possible to check contents of the package to find log dir location. On rpm-based distros you can do it with following command: rpm -ql httpd | grep log. On my system it prints out number of files & directories and it's easy to realize that /var/log/httpd/ is what we are looking for.
