Yes, but is it actually being used? If you put in an obvious syntax
error and then restart the server, does it give you an error message?
I had previously bumped up a different directive (changed LogLevel from
warn to debug) and I believe it was the error log that was flooded with
more descriptive information, so I know that at least apache is reading
the httpd.conf file. Actaully, it was filling the log file so fast that
users could no longer get into Apache so I had to bump it down a couple
of levels.

This leads me to be believe you are a little lost in your config
files. If there is no CustomLog (or TransferLog) directive, then
apache will not write an access_log file.
Could the default be set in the httpd-std.conf file. I do not know the
purpose of that file, but I see them set there.
Going back to your first message, I'm also a little concerned that you
may be mixing up the error_log and access_log. Only the latter is
controlled by CustomLog.
I actually do a "tail" on all log files when I make a change, just to
make sure I am not missing it.
I guess I have a lot more reading to do, because I am missing something
very basic if it is supposed to be as simple as just setting up the two
directives. Thanks for the help.
