Access Logs

[sarm]

Configuring virtual host section in httpd

I want access log for this domain to be put in the

http://www directory.

Does what I have below look correct? Not sure I use CustomLog Or TransferLog.

<VirtualHost x.x.x.x>
DocumentRoot /home/mydomain/www/
ServerName

http://www.mydomain.info

ServerAlias mydomain.info
CustomLog home/mydomain/

http://www/access_log

common
</VirtualHost>

If the above is correct.
Part 2: Looking for a free cgi-script that I can use to get the basics access stats in text or graphics. For example total accesses,accesses per day, etc. Any links would be appreciated. I've seen one or two domains on the net that use domain.com/cgi-bin/stats I'm looking for something like this so stats can be viewed by browser without a control panel login.

If you have LogLevel and LogFormat defined globally, then your CustomLog directive should work the way you have it. For a stats script, I would check

http://www.cgi-resources.com

and check out their log analyzers. They have a ton of cgi and php scripts to choose from.

Hi,

The default LogFormats don't give any virtual host info (%v) , i.e. :

LogFormat &quot;%h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %>s %b \&quot;%{Referer}i\&quot; \&quot;%{User-Agent}i\&quot;&quot; combined
LogFormat &quot;%h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %>s %b&quot; common
LogFormat &quot;%{Referer}i -> %U&quot; referer
LogFormat &quot;%{User-agent}i&quot; agent

So, you could also create a format to record the virtual host - e.g. :

LogFormat &quot;%h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %>s %b %v&quot; virtual

... and point to that

CustomLog /home/mydomain/

http://www/vaccess.log

virtual

Hi,

Thanks folks - I'm guessing if I had a second domain the balance of accesses I would log to wherever I wanted as I've added to the bottom below making it global. Correct?

LogFormat &quot;%h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %>s %b \&quot;%{Referer}i\&quot; \&quot;%{User-Agent}i\&quot;&quot; combined
LogFormat &quot;%h %l %u %t \&quot;%r\&quot; %>s %b&quot; common
LogFormat &quot;%{Referer}i -> %U&quot; referer
LogFormat &quot;%{User-agent}i&quot; agent
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log common

Thanks again

Hi,



Unless you specify CustomLog stuff in a virtual host container then it will just inherit the global settings, i.e will be in the default access.log. The reason for using CustomLog is mostly to either separate logs into different physical files or to use customised log formats as suggested previously.
