[users@httpd] CustomLog fails when piped to sed

[Debajit Adhikary <de...@outlook.com>]

I am trying to use a piped CustomLog to filter my logs:
httpd.conf:CustomLog "|/bin/sed -r s/pass/REDACTED/g >> /workplace/tmp/access.log" common 
However, when I make a request to Apache, I get an error saying/bin/sed: can't read >>: No such file or directory 
How can I get this working? (It seems others have been able to use piped CustomLog like this)

Oups, I meant "|$...", with the $ *after* the |.

With Apache 2.4.x, you probably have to use :

CustomLog "$|/bin/sed -r s/pass/REDACTED/g >> /workplace/tmp/access.log" common

Note the leading $ so that a shell is used (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html#piped).
