[TriLUG] Issue with Linux logging configuration Need help

[Bill Trautman via TriLUG]

Was wondering if anyone would have some idea what I might need to change to
get the logging config I am working on.

I need (requirement) to have ErrorLog in apache log via syslog.   I have a
global ErrorLog directive and one in an virtual host section (for the ssl
connection).   The ssl one is behaving as expected but the global is not.

I have configured the httpd side with:

Errorlog syslog:local1:http_log

and configured rsyslog.conf with

if ($syslogfacility-text == 'local1' and $programname == 'http_log') then
/var/log/error_log
& stop

a similar config in the virtual host behaves as expected (different
facility and tag) but not in the global setting.   Ideas?
