There should never be a reason to edit such files.  Most important
thing is not to patch files unless you document it clearly and keep
the patch on hand.  To prevent that from happening accidentally, set
permissions on the files that don't allow writing.

Test creating an intentional notice/error and check that log file.  If
nothing is going to that log file, check for .htaccess files that
override the log file location.
