that's correct.

it's @t_logs@

Oh, you mean we were talking about LockFile all this time, which is wrong 
when run under non-root user, right? So your global httpd.conf has:

LockFile logs/accept.lock

which is picked by Apache-Test and put into t/conf/httpd.conf? In which 
case we should rewrite this setting to point to:

LockFile @t_logs@/accept.lock

but since the server starts from t/, logs/accept.lock should already point 
there. Or does your global httpd.conf has a hardcoded full path to LockFile?
