how can I redirect Subversion/apache msgs to a new file
I asked yesterday about this but I think my original subject ("how to
customise Apache2 logs") wouldn't have caught the attention of
Subversion guys so apols for having to resend this...
I've tried following the subversion/svn example for putting svn-related
(over Apache/http) activities into a new log and decyphering the
actions, but nothing is appearing in my logfile (but it has been
created).
From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html, it
says
mod_dav_svn, however, can come to your aid. By activating an
“operational logging” feature, you can ask mod_dav_svn to create a
separate log file describing what sort of high-level operations your
clients are performing.
To do this, you need to make use of Apache's CustomLog directive
(which is explained in more detail in Apache's own documentation). Be
sure to
invoke this directive outside of your Subversion Location block:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
…
</Location>
CustomLog logs/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION
In this example, we're asking Apache to create a special logfile
svn_logfile in the standard Apache logs directory. The %t and %u
variables are replaced by the time and username of the request,
respectively. The really important part are the two instances of
SVN-ACTION. When Apache sees that variable, it substitutes the
value of the SVN-ACTION environment variable, which is automatically
set by
mod_dav_svn whenever it detects a high-level client action.
I'm running Apache2 on Debian and I've added what I think is a suitable
CustomLog (I've tried both
to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and/or
to /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf):
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e"
env=SVN-ACTION
but although the file is created nothing is being added to it, and I'm
still seeing copies of the Apache/svn cmds in apache2/access.log:
michael@ratty:/usr/local/SUBVERSION$ tail /var/log/apache2/access.log
veri.phy.umist.ac.uk - atmos_svn [11/Jan/2008:17:34:01 +0000]
"PROPFIND /svn/atmos_modelling/OpenMP_2 HTTP/1.1" 207 463 "-"
"SVN/1.4.4
(r25188) neon/0.25.5"
{etc}
Can anybody point out what I've overlooked?
Many thanks, Michael

There is no 'debian-administration lot'. This is a mail address
for website problems, bug reports, etc.
Requests for help to this address generally receive a polite reply

Okay, given this seems somewhat Debian-related (rather than subversion
only) I've added Debian-user to the cc list and also the
debian-admininstration lot in case they wish to use the info:
Kris, I've followed your example and
a) yes, dav_svn.conf is enabled
b) removed all Subversion-related CustomLog directives from
mods-available/dav_svn.conf
c) I've only the default virtual host:
michael@ratty:/etc/apache2$ ls sites-available/
default default~
so have editted that to include the line
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e"
env=SVN-ACTION
immediately after the line
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
in the (only) VirtualHost present in that file.
Then reloading apache2 and doing an 'svn export' (on another machine) I
do indeed get the required result:
michael@ratty:/var/log/apache2$ cat subversion.log
[17/Jan/2008:17:33:38 +0000] atmos_svn checkout-or-export '/'
Many thanks and I hope other Debian users find your help useful!

Mmmh. Debian has introduced a very flexible configuration system for
Apache. Packaged Apache modules put configuration fragments in
/etc/apache2/mods-available, but they're not used unless there's a
matching symlink in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. A similar system is used
for vhosts.
Unless you really want options to apply to all vhosts, it's probably
best to leave the fragments in mods-available alone, and add
configuration to the vhost fragments in /etc/apache2/sites-available.
I usually open any of these fragments using the mods-enabled/ or
sites-enabled/ path and the symlink, to make sure I'm actually editing a
live file and not one that's disabled.
Run "a2enmod" and see what mods are actually loaded. Then restart
Apache to make sure that's what's actually running.
Do you see any warnings in the main error log?
Are you able to use any repositories you've set up? From your original
message it sounds like repository access is working, because otherwise
it sounds like your configuration just isn't getting parsed.
[fiddles configs] I think I may have found your problem, but I can't
explain *why* it's happening. On two machines, with three vhosts, I
have SVN action logs enabled and working. However, the CustomLog
directive is inside each individual vhost block; it's not "global" as
you appear to be trying to do. When I tried adding the CustomLog
directive in the same location as you're trying, I get the same result -
log file is created, but nothing gets written to it.
Try adding the CustomLog to the vhost container for the vhost you're
trying to enable logging on - the "default" vhost should work OK if you
don't have any others. I'm not certain about this, however; you may
have to define a vhost, or at least move all of your live SVN
configuration into the 000-default vhost configuration fragment.
(The /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf file is in fact completely
commented out on the one machine; all actual SVN configuration is in
the vhost definitions. Aside from the other machine being CentOS and
using a different set of fragments it's the same story.)

The LogFormat line here isn't really doing anything useful for two
reasons: you've already given CustomLog the log format description, and
you're defining the log format after the statement defining the log
file. See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog.

David, KM (hope okay to CC you?) et al,
Glad you've both got it working. I'm using a Debian dist of Apache2
which, if I understand correctly, doesn't use httpd.conf but for general
stuff uses apache2.conf and for modules uses the relevant module conf
file eg mods-available/dav_svn.conf
I've attached my mods-available/dav_svn.conf which seems fine as far as
I can tell. (I've also tried the CustomLog in the apache2.conf but no
help) And here's the permissions set for the required logfile (you can
see that Apache2 has created it but then I changed the
permissions/ownership from root:root)
michael@ratty:/var/log/apache2$ lshead
total 7480
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 4890980 Jan 17 14:36 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1428669 Jan 17 14:36 error.log

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root www-data 0 Jan 17 14:29 subversion.log
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jan 17 06:26 ../
I run Apache2 as www-data:

how can I redirect Subversion/apache msgs to a new file
I asked yesterday about this but I think my original subject ("how to
customise Apache2 logs") wouldn't have caught the attention of
Subversion guys so apols for having to resend this...
I've tried following the subversion/svn example for putting svn-related
(over Apache/http) activities into a new log and decyphering the
actions, but nothing is appearing in my logfile (but it has been
created).
From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html, it
says
mod_dav_svn, however, can come to your aid. By activating an
“operational logging” feature, you can ask mod_dav_svn to create a
separate log file describing what sort of high-level operations your
clients are performing.
To do this, you need to make use of Apache's CustomLog directive
(which is explained in more detail in Apache's own documentation). Be
sure to
invoke this directive outside of your Subversion Location block:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
…
</Location>
CustomLog logs/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION
In this example, we're asking Apache to create a special logfile
svn_logfile in the standard Apache logs directory. The %t and %u
variables are replaced by the time and username of the request,
respectively. The really important part are the two instances of
SVN-ACTION. When Apache sees that variable, it substitutes the
value of the SVN-ACTION environment variable, which is automatically
set by
mod_dav_svn whenever it detects a high-level client action.
I'm running Apache2 on Debian and I've added what I think is a suitable
CustomLog (I've tried both
to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and/or
to /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf):
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u
%{SVN-ACTION}e"
env=SVN-ACTION
but although the file is created nothing is being added to it, and I'm
still seeing copies of the Apache/svn cmds in apache2/access.log:
michael@ratty:/usr/local/SUBVERSION$ tail /var/log/apache2/access.log
veri.phy.umist.ac.uk - atmos_svn [11/Jan/2008:17:34:01 +0000]
"PROPFIND /svn/atmos_modelling/OpenMP_2 HTTP/1.1" 207 463 "-"
"SVN/1.4.4
(r25188) neon/0.25.5"
{etc}
Can anybody point out what I've overlooked?
Many thanks, Michael

Re: how can I redirect Subversion/apache msgs to a new file
Posted by KM <in...@yahoo.com>.
All I did was edit my existing httpd.conf file for the apache server. It already contained the "DAV svn" line in each of my repository Location tags. e.g.
<Location /myrepo>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/subversion/myrepo
AuthType basic
AuthName "My Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/subversion/passwdFile
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
to add the logging i did the following:
1. stop the apache server
2. added the following to my httpd.conf
#Added a custom Log file for subversion - KM 7/24/2007
CustomLog logs/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION
LogFormat "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" svn
3. restart the server
It worked like a charm. The entries will be similar to the following:
[14/Jan/2008:10:58:04 -0500] km commit r514
[14/Jan/2008:10:58:40 -0500] - update '/trunk/cfg_mgt/backup_scripts'
Hope it helps
