Greetings,
I was hoping to get confirmation that Apache uses a single process, and/or thread for Apache 2.x, to perform logging, as opposed to each child process/thread logging its own entries?
no, the logging provided with Apache (ErrorLog support, mod_log_config) logs on the thread/process that handled the request
modules taking advantage of logging hooks have some latitude to do it differently
Also, I'd like to confirm that
the logging takes place as the user who started the server (usually root), as opposed to the user:group defined in the httpd.conf?
with Apache-provided logging, files are opened as the user who started the server and the writes to the file are performed by the user:group defined in httpd.conf
