[users@httpd] Log file
I have entries in my log file that not in order, i.e.
16:22
16:04
16:23
Could it have something to with the fact I have the file open in UltraEdit?
Another weird thing is, UltraEdit makes a backup file of the log I have
open, and I notice Apache then starts writing to the BAK file, but the
config file clearly points to another file, i.e. the one I had open... I
then need to delete the backup file and restart Apache, what the hell is
going on there?

UltraEdit?
No. It is generally because Apache logs the request when it has completed,
whilte the time is the time it started processing it. Thus, the time is the
request arrival, and the order is the order of request completion.

Not weird at all. What UltraEdit actually do is to *rename* the original
file and creates a copy of it with the original name. Thus, Apache will
*continue* to write to the file which now has a new name. I thought editors
just created backups when you (auto)saved it, but what to do is avoid making
changes in the log while viewing it or disable this backup behaviour of
UltraEdit.

I have seen some references on this list that mentioned problems like
this with older versions of Apache2. What version of Apache are you
running?
