LogFormat for webalizer

[gchen]

hi,

i just installed webalizer on my linux box which is running apache 2.0.

basically the webalizer works but i have problem getting...

search string
user agent

included in log report. i guess the "LofFormat" in my httpd.conf is not quite correct. What i was using are...

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

and

CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/access_log combined
CustomLog logs/referer_log referer
CustomLog logs/agent_log agent

any webalizer guru here can help to shed some light?

Thanks a million!!!!!

Gary

Yes, I am aware of this FAQ but had some confusion... i am lucky to get some clarification from Brad Barrett, the webalizer creator, and it all works out. Thanks!

For whoever interested in this topic, here is what i did...

put below lines in httpd.conf ...

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

and below line in each of the VirtualHost directive...

CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/virtual_name_access_log combined
(of course, repelace the virtual_name_access_log with appropriate log file name you wish to use for that particular virtual host)

That's it!

gchen,

Good to know, expecially in your situation with VirtualHost containers. Maybe you should write a FAQ.
