6. Error log

The path to the log file for error messages. Usually, it is logs/error_log which is relative to the ServerRoot. Often the directory logs in ServerRoot is a symbolic link to /var/log/httpd, which means that the log path above would result in error messages logged to /var/log/httpd/error_log.

You should monitor this log after reconfiguring, as most configuration errors are logged here (Linuxconf sadly catches only a few of them.) Additionally, any failed accesses by clients (non-existent pages, failed authorization and so on) are also logged.
