Access_log not displaying client ip

[tandrews1]

OSX server running Apache 1.3 ... I first noticed the problem when running a cgi that was set to return the client ip address. I kept getting the address of the server returned no matter which client I connected from.

I took a look at the access_log today and see that every log entry begins with the FQDN of the server, not the ip address of the host. I looked back at some logs from October and see that things were working correctly then, but I am baffled as to what I would have changed in the config to cause this.

Any suggestions are appreciated

You'll probably get a much quicker correct response from the Apache Forum.

The correct reference is in that I haven't tried to answer your question

Whoops! I was looking at the Apache forum when I posted and assumed... well... my apologies.

You will need to look at the config for what is recorded in the logs. Apache allows you to specify what fields to record and how to record them. Your config is set to record the server IP instead of the client IP as you stated. The wrong field name was used in the config file.
