It's not ./gnucash/log.conf, but ~/.gnucash/log.conf. So a hidden directory in you home dir. And in addition that information is also only valid for gnucash 2.6.x and older. The file has been moved to a new location for 3.x.

Like John I don't see much reason to make it separate pages. What you describe can be separate sections on one page as well. But I don't have a strong opinion or preference here.
