Hi there

I'm running nginx 0.7.61 on Linux. Using spawn-fcgi under damontools
which runs under a separate uid per virtual host and creates a socket
/var/run/php/$domain/socket

I've configured nginx as per the config below. Everything works well,
but including variables in access_log and error_log give the error:

[emerg]: open() "/usr/$webroot/$domain/log/error.log" failed (2: No such
file or directory)

This seems to indicate that the variables aren't being expanded
properly? In particular, the prepended '/usr' part must be from the
--prefix definition when building nginx???

nginx runs as user 'www' which has write access to each of the
/var/www/$domain/log directories (by group ownership and 770 perms).

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dale
