[users@httpd] Need help to diagnose a problem with CustomLog
Hi,
I have a weird problem with CustomLog.
I defined an access log in a vhost configuration file. This site used to
use /var/log/apache2/access_log. I changed it to use "CustomLog
/var/log/apache2/www.services.cnt.qc/www.services.cnt.qc-access_log
combined"
For some odd reason, when I started Apache it created my desired access log
file but keep writing in /var/log/apache2/access_log. I did stop and start
Apache2 but without success.
Does soemone know why?
What can be done to diagnose this problem?
I checked the configuration file many times and everything is ok.
Thanks in advance,
Bernard

Maybe in some other config file that has been included in the main config
file via Include statement? I don't see any reason for apache to log
something unless told to.

Thanks Igor for your reply,
Actually, /var/log/apache2/access_log is not commented out, it is not there
at all in the config file.
I have only CustomLog in a vhost configuation file which is called by an
Include directive.
There is nothing overly complex in my setup. That's why I am totally
puzzled with this. 8-|
By the way, this is Apache/2.2.3 running on SuSE SLES 10 with SP1.

Have you commented out the /var/log/apache2/access_log line in the main
section of the config file?
