httpd logs: readable by user?

Currently, all my virtualhost on my webserver has their dedicated logs. each virtual host belongs to a particular user.

Is it possible to specify to save the log under a certain user/group permission, so that they can read the file directly without going through as root?

edit httpd.conf

in CustomLog directive add the path you needed.

hi there,

you mean customlog in my vhost settings?
What I am trying to do is allow my users to see their own log files, but currently the files are saved and owned by root

my vhost is:

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin me@domain.com

    DocumentRoot /home/me/imgrepo

    ServerName images.domain.com

    ErrorLog logs/images.domain.com-error_log

    CustomLog logs/images.domain.com-access_log common

</VirtualHost>

Do I need to edit the CustomLog settings in the httpd conf file?

As of now i keep the file in /var/log, but am hoping if there's a way to save the file in a specified user name?
