apparently i wasn't connecting via localhost--it was using the
/etc/hosts name of the computer ('server' in this case) instead!

so it was falling back on host 'localhost' with generic username
(blank) instead of generic host with username 'www-data' (just as
it says in section 6.1 of the manual).
even better, the 'missing' "Apache->log" method error is gone, too!
