That depends on which version of Analog you are trying to configure. The Carbon version of Analog does use ':' as a directory seperator, while the command line (Mach) version of Analog uses '/'. Both are equaly native, Apple has combined elements of Unix and Classic MacOS in OS X.

Meanwhile, Apple in their "infinite wisdom" has made /var/log/httpd invisible to Carbon applications. There isn't any way you can specify that location from a Carbon app, even though it exists. There is a workaround, simple enough but annoying none the less. Make a symbolic link to /var/log/httpd from somewhere that Carbon apps are allowed to access, such as your home directory or the Analog folder. Then you can specify LOGFILE "MacOS X:Users:scott:logs:*_log" or whatever the equivilent is on your system.

On yet another hand, the default location for Apache log files isn't /var/log/httpd but rather /Library/WebServer/Logs/. That is a place you can specify in a Carbon application, use something like LOGFILE "MacOS X:Library:WebServer:Logs:apache_access_log*". Of course you need to subsitute your own volume name.

To get the lattest version of Analog for MacOS X: for Carbon (GUI): <http://summary.net/soft/analog.html> for Mach (command line): <http://www.reppep.com/~pepper/analog/>
