Hi!

Logging is decreed by the httpd configuration files, and can either be included in a directory full of configuration files, configured in httpd.conf which can be either in /etc/httpd/conf.d (/etc/httpd/conf) or another location (which can be set during build of binary or by distro.

So from httpd.conf

#CustomLog logs/access_log common
CustomLog logs/access_log combined
#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common

So the URL is consistent with ServerRoot:
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"
[root@chipmonk android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r1]#



Your best bet is to setup a well customized logging format so that you retain only the information you need.  Awstats is a fine add-on for manipulating log data into meaningful use, which is searchable, etc.  Generally, awstats is best run on exported and mounted log data on an adjacent server (it's a security issue).  Other logging to a mysql server solutions for instance also have some real performance problems in real time. 

Your custom configuration can also rotate your logs or they can be called and moved via logrotate from the /etc/logrotate.d directory but an apache reset is required.

I prefer to manage my Apache logs from within Apache using the logformat commands.

You can easily find your logfile location in this way:

# locate httpd.conf

# grep access_log /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I always copy configuration files to a backup before editing. 

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html

Hi Everyone,

I'm running a CentOS LAMP server and it appears that access logging has discontinued.

I'm thinking there is a messages log file some place that might shed light on what or how the access logging was turned off.

I've looked under /var/log and do not find what I'm looking for.  I'm not sure I am on the right track.

This is a little beyond my area of expertise so any advise is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Keith
