vhost_alias and logfiles
Hello,
how can I make a seperate logfile
for all virtualhosts I have
set up using vhost_alias?
Currently they all are logged
into acccess_log how can I seperate
it?
Is there a vhost_alias module for
apache2, too?
Bye and thanks,
Werner

There is no way to do this dynamically from within apache. But you can
easily create a piped-log program to do it for you, or you can
post-process your logs to split them out:

Yes. You could check this in the docs:

Absolutely - and aside from typing-laziness, that's why I thought I should
set up my local/dev sites with 'illegal' names like "XML" and "Pit" (for
'sandpit').
However... (having way too much time on my hands - not) noting my earlier
short-cut and your (very reasonable) logic, I created a favorites folder
called www.microsoft.com (the FQDN this time), and guess what, the
'Favorites' thing still overrides DNS!

Understood. I'm still tweaking my set up so that it will work (with obvious
limitations) whether I'm connected to a client network, my home/office
network, or not connected at all (portable). Accordingly I'm elbows deep in
the Windows implementation of DNS/WINS/hosts file - most unfamiliar
territory, very dark and gloomy. Hence seeing it as a 'Name' issue.
Appreciate your advice (and still chuckling),

IE does seem to take a lot of different approaches to dealing with input in
the Address box - to be honest, I'd never seen the Favourites search but I
have certainly had "interesting" results when entering unqualified names.
I would imagine that this behaviour applies only when the input is neither
a well-formed URL nor a qualified hostname. The rational in this case
would be that a single word is unlikely to be a legitimate address so it's
acceptable to take liberties during resolution in the name of
user-friendliness.

Sorry, I just didn't really know where you were coming from with the query
- I guess I accepted such quirks as given a long time ago :)

You are absolutely correct, it is IE/the client - I had compared with
Mozilla and didn't get the same result. I also modified the <Directory>
Options to allow index/file list display. For some reason I didn't check the
other way around, and sure enough, if within IE I enter "Travel" as if a
URL, there is no Internet site and no local/dev Vhost, but up pops my
Favorites folder of that name.
This 'Favorites' behavior seems to override/precede Name Resolution!? So the
interesting thing is that if you name a Favorites folder "Microsoft.com" you
cannot use their own web browser to access their own home page!!!???
You are correct, this is a list for Apache (I am using Apache as my dev web
server BTW) but I was hoping that someone who appreciates that web work
involves understanding both ends of the c-s transaction (and is more
knowledgeable than I) could point out the (weird) rationale.
You've managed to give me a good laugh!

What you've described here is a behaviour of the client (IE), not the
server (Apache).
As for whether it's expected, you'd need to ask Microsoft.
Hope that helps,

Vhost naming and IE6.0
Posted by DL Neil <PH...@DandE.HomeChoice.co.uk>.
I use short names for dev 'sites' on my local computer, eg "XML", for my
current tutorial 'practicals'. The existing other half-dozen+ Vhosts (with
short names, eg "HC") work just fine.
However when I set up a Vhost called XML (and restarted Apache, etc) and
asked for "XML", IE served up the list of favorites from its Favorites
folder of the same name.
Work-around: changed the name of the Favorites folder, and things are happy.
Is this 'expected behavior'? Can someone explain please? Have I missed
something?
