[users@httpd] A question on virtual hosts

Version: apache 2.0.46
System: Linux

I have a vitual host

<Vitualhost  x.x.x.x>
    Documentroot /home
    ServerName www.myname.edu
    ErrorLog /var/log/default.log
    CustomLog /var/log/error.log

    <directory "/home/*/*/public_html>

        # other directives

    </directory>
</virtualhost>

I want httpd to log requests and errors from "/home/*/*/public_html" to
different files

Can I do this by creating another virtual host ??
The server name has to be the same so whatever I tried doesn't work.
 I am using the NameVirtualHost directive.

Any other way to do it ?

Thanks,
Sriram

Thanks,

I had the document root there as an example.
its actually pointing to /var/www/html

I might follow your post-processing suggestion and try to use it.

That DocumentRoot is not a good idea.  You are exposing the home
directories of all your users directly to the web.  Are you sure that all
your users are comfortable with that?  Even if they are, there are special
files in the home directories that probably shouldn't be served (.profile,
ssh keys, etc).

No.  I suggest that you log to all one file and have a post-processing
program split it out for you.  That will be the simplest and most
efficient way to handle it.
