Summary:	mod_cgid ignores virt host ErrorLog directive

Description ccolumbu 2018-09-05 11:17:24 UTC

By default my new Fedora server v 28 (Linux localhost 4.17.19-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 24 15:47:41 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) uses mpm_event.
When I call a CGI script with print STDERR "test\n"; the entry appears in /var/log/httpd/error_log (which is the log file specified in the ErrorLog directive of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), instead of in the ErrorLog file specified in the <VirtualHost>.
When I switch to mpm_prefork it works as expected and writes into the file specified in the <VirtualHost> ErrorLog entry.

I am not sure if this is expected behavior as I have never used mpm_event before, but it was unexpected to me.

change title/component, I assumed you switched mod_cgi/mod_cgid at the same time as switching MPMs.

Yes mpm_event uses mod_cgid and mpm_prefork uses mod_cgi
