With the second part in their Getting Started with Apache 2.0 series posted today, DevShed builds on the first part of the series, expanding into the realms of the log files, custom log file setups, and virtual hosts.

Last time, I showed you how to install Apache on your own machine from scratch, and explained the configuration directives that help run the Web server. [...] Today, I'll explain the configuration of the "main server." I opted to skip this topic in the last article. Next, I'll talk about the different log files generated by the Apache Web server and how you can customize them to your requirements. Finally, we'll see how to create "Virtual Hosts" that give us the ability to run multiple websites on a single instance of the Apache Web server.

They do a pretty good job of stepping through the various aspects of each topic, pausing to highlight handy tips along the way (including several of the string-formatting symbols to help you in configuring your CustomLog).
