Hi,

New to the site and very new to Apache (as a matter of fact I don't know anything!)

I need to find this out for someone else... what would be required to change an internet log file format on an Apache server?

2 log file formats need to be changed.

The first is an error log, the format is as follows:
host, - , - , timestamp, method url, status code, file size(bytes)

All that needs to be tacked onto the end is referer and user agent, which would make the format look like this:

host, - , - , timestamp, method url, status code, file size(bytes), referer, User agent with format: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible, ...)"


The second is a request log, the format is as follows:
timestamp, host, -, -, method url, file size(bytes)

and needs to be changed to:
host, -, -, timestamp, method url, status code, doc size (bytes), referer, user agent


Basically we just need the command and syntax that would change an internet log file format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Please consult the docs there is a part about log config

If you still have a question, please ask again

Ok... 1 more quick question. What would be the format string for the referer page (ex. "https://webapp.dev.blah.blahblah.com/app/") and user agent (ex. "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2)")

Code:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
CustomLog /server2/logs/access.log combined


See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html for the details Wink
