Package: apache2-mpm-prefork
Version: 2.0.53-5
Severity: normal


I'm having a problem with apache2 and mod_deflate on Sarge. I've tried          
it with mod_chroot both enabled and not, and it seems to make no                
difference. The deflate log is never updated, not matter what I do.             
Here's the configuration for /etc/apache2/conf.d/deflate.conf:                  
                                                                                
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>                                                    
        DeflateFilterNote Input instream                                        
        DeflateFilterNote Output outstream                                      
        DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/deflate.log deflate

a2enmod says that mod_deflate is definitely enabled, so there's no reason
for the logs not to be created.
