In this situation I would use something like ap_server_root_relative() and prepend the 'logs' part to whatever your cache file name is. I'm not positive that this guarantees that you get an existing directory, though.
Your safest bet is to retain your directive but make it optional. Set a default location with the above when you create your config, and then if the user sets a different directory in which to store the files, you just reset it to that. If you test the directory before you continue, you should be ok. Josh On 4/5/07, David Wortham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
In reference to my last question (about finding a suitable cache-file directory), I found this function in the httpd-2.2.x source: apr_temp_dir_get(char** temp_dir, apr_pool t* p). Has anyone used this function or does anyone know if it is (or is not) fully supported by all apache implementations? Is it guaranteed to return a writeable directory?
