Apache2::Log - logging to error_log instead of stdout

[Torsten Krah <tk...@fachschaft.imn.htwk-leipzig.de>]

When my filter is installed, i want to log some message to the server Log, 
like:

[Fri Sep 28 15:23:27 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled 
(wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)


I thought i can use this:

sub DIR_CREATE {
     my $s = Apache2::ServerUtil->server;
     $s->log_serror( Apache2::Log::LOG_MARK, Apache2::Const::LOG_NOTICE,
         APR::Const::SUCCESS, "CAE-ResponseFilter enabled."
     );
}

The message is logged - but to "stdout - console" where i am starting apache  
like this: /etc/init.d/apache2 start ... no to the log file.
How can i log to this logfile?

Good idea.
The second a got a idea how to "do", but the first - thats what i want to make 
within DIR_CREATE, which is the wrong way you told.
So - how can the first option - report that module is there - be done?

Don't use DIR_CREATE as the context to log from. It's most likely executing
too soon for your purposes.

Apache2::ServerUtil->server when invoked at startup time will return you
the server object of the main server object, not likely what you want
either, so:

sub DIR_CREATE {
	my ($class, $param) = @_;
        my $s = $param->server;
        [...]

Would be more correct.

But ultimately, you want to report you are enabled not at DIR_CREATION
time for sure, more likely DIR_MERGE. But even then, you might have
to report this many, many times, if .htaccess files are enable for
instance.

Why not just report the module is available at startup, and report
it's being used at run time from within an actual handler, not configuration
hooks.
