That did not work for me. Here is the full config file:

error_log logs/main_error.log;

events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}

http {
    error_log logs/http_error.log;
    server {
        server_name dandascalescu.com;
        access_log logs/the_com.access;
        error_log logs/the_com.error;
    }
}

When the server receives a request for http://dandacalescu.com/nonexistent.file,
the request shows up in the access log, but all 3 error logs remain blank. The
error only shows up in the main_error.log if I comment the http_error.log and
the_com.error lines.

I'm using nginx version 0.6.34.

I would submit a bug for this but there seems to be no real bug tracking system
for nginx.
