I cant understand why you disagree Kenneth, you are correct about the kernel
messages, but that i explaned above /etc/syslog.conf. Your comment;
"AFAIK, there is only one way of capturing ALL such messages
- by redirecting output to a file"
That is exactly what i mean with /etc/syslog.conf and http.conf you do that
in those files.
The issue here is a program being started at bootime, namely httpd, now in
/etc/httpd/conf (on a redhat system) there is a file called httpd.conf, in
this file we can direct the "error messages" produced at bootime or httpd's
starttme to a file called "logs/error_log" the directory log is a symbolic
link to /var/log/httpd/error_log.
There are many other programs which allow the "user" to define where the
error messages go or to turn them off completly.
My comment was;
if your http.conf is still default then it possably could be found in
/var/log/http/error_log
Thats the default setting.
