[users@httpd] turn off error_log formatting under standard cgi handler?
Server: Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) mod_apreq2-20051231/2.5.7 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8
Using the regular cgi handler (no mod_perl fancy stuff), my
warning messages have this format:
[Fri Aug 11 13:25:03 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ---, referer: http://localhost/the_http_referer_page.html
The problem is that the referer is listed after EVERY line of STDERR output.
If I warn a multi-line output (for example, a data structure dump), then
every line of that warning gets the referer tagged on.
warn qq{
This
is
a
test
of
the
emergency
broadcast
system.
};

It makes warnings and debugging statements immensely difficult to read.
Is there some way to turn it off? It's really annoying.
I'm used to mod_perl, which does not do this.
This doesn't happen when I run the script under a mod_perl2 handler
like ModPerl::Registry or anything else. In that case, warnings
print normally to the error log without any additional information.
My conf file section:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Ideally, I would like to turn off the first part of each line too,
with the date, warning level and client IP.
Any clues how I can change this behavior? Do I have to write my
own handler to pipe the ErrorLog output to?

Posted by Mark Hedges <he...@ucsd.edu>.
Apparently there's not a damn thing I can do about it:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html
"The first item in the log entry is the date and time of the
message. The second entry lists the severity of the error being
reported. The LogLevel directive is used to control the types of
errors that are sent to the error log by restricting the
severity level. The third entry gives the IP address of the
client that generated the error. ... It is not possible to
customize the error log by adding or removing information."
WHY WHY WHY?
This works well for me as an error log pipe, at least while I'm
developing.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open LAME, '>>', '/var/log/apache2/lame.log';
select LAME;
$| = 1;
while (<STDIN>) {
s{ \A \[.*?\] \s* \[.*?\] \s* \[.*?\] }{}xms;
s{ , \s referer: \s http:// .*? \z }{}xms;
print LAME $_;
}
