Granted, it's just a comment, but it could be confusing for new users. Unless I'm missing something? # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/foo.log" # with ServerRoot set to "/usr/local" will be interpreted by the # server as "/usr/local//var/log/foo.log".
