Have you set the following environment variables prior to running 
the log server on the UNIX host:

ENV_PARAM EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT={"EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT","7004"};
ENV_PARAM
EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT={"EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT","1000000"};
ENV_PARAM
EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_NAME={"EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_NAME","/home/phebos1/epics/apple/log/i
ocLog.text"};

Have you set the following environment variables prior to calling
"iocInit()" during the vxWorks boot?
ENV_PARAM EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT={"EPICS_IOC_LOG_PORT","7004"};
ENV_PARAM EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET={"EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET","164.54.8.167"};

This should not be required by the application developer (all
of this occurs as a side effect of calling iocInit).
