Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone knows of a fix here, though it's not critical but it is 
kind of annoying.  Though I make no reference to a
"ServerRoot"/logs directory in the configuration file, apparently Apache needs 
one to exist in order to run.  ErrorLog, TransferLog,
PidFile, etc.. all those I give complete path names to a directory outside of 
ServerRoot, yet for some reason, Apache will not start
unless there's a /logs directory underneath the ServerRoot, even though nothing 
seems to be written there.  If I remove the
ServerRoot/logs directory, upon startup the ErrorLog ( written where I've told 
it to be ) records:

"[emerg] (2)No such file or directory: Couldn't create accept lock 
(/usr/local/webapp/logs/accept.lock.28901)"

If I take my ErrorLog directives and put them just into the VirtualHost blocks, 
then I get a different error sent to stdout, saying
the serverroot/logs directory can not be found.

This is reminiscent of a below bug report.. but that was for 1.3 and I'm 
running 2.2.2.

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31086

I can leave the empty /log directory laying around I suppose.. put it's just 
not right. ;)

Thanks for any information,

You missed LockFile:
