+ The <replaceable>filename</replaceable> is a path relative to the directory that is specified by the <option>ServerRoot</option> directive (that is, <filename class="directory">/etc/httpd/</filename> by default). The <replaceable>format</replaceable> has to be either an explicit format string, or a format name that was previously defined using the <option>LogFormat</option> directive.
