Hm, in my copy of the 2.2 manpage, replogfile is listed in the General 
Database Options section, not the Global Configuration Options section. 
That means it is indeed database-specific (but independent of database 
type), and its position in the conf file is significant.

I agree with Kurt, there isn't enough context provided to see where the 
real problems are, but it is doubtless an error in the config file.
