[mod_deflate] logging issue when not using virtual hosts

Hi,=0AI am having a peculiar issue with turning on logging for mod_deflate.=
Environment:=0AApache 2.2.6 running on Linux (SuSE 11 x86 64 bit).=0A=
I have no virtual hosts defined - all my configuration is in httpd.conf=0A=

However, since i do not have a virtual hosts section defined and my C=
ustomLog and ErrorLog directives are for the entire server, this should not=
apply to me (i think?) Any help appreciated=0AThanks!=0AAnand =
