I can confirm this happening in

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"

$ uname -a
Linux *** 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/apache2/conf.d/cookies

LogFormat  "%h %l %u %t"
TransferLog /var/log/apache2/cookie_log

I started one up with "apache2ctl -k start -X"

$:/proc/5548$ sudo ls -l fd

The strace log

$ sudo strace -e write -p 5548

write(8, "xx.xx.xx.xx - - [24/Aug/2009:05:0"..., 167) = 167

clearly showing that this is not writing to an opened log file.

I know that this will probably work if I edit that 000-default vhost
entry and add it there. But I don't like to edit files, jus dumping this
in the conf.d/ should've "Just Worked".

Any more input needed?
