[users@httpd] Difficulties with apache logging

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22
FreeBSD-4.11R3

This is really important for us to fix so I am asking again.

so I upgraded to apache 1.3.33 built from the FreeBSD /usr/ports directory, a common directory to 
build FreeBSD ports, about a month ago and around that time I stopped seeing POST log messages 
for my perl scripts ending up in apache's access logs.  We are still using POST to send form data to 
the script.

any clues why this is no longer being logged.  is there some log granualrity configuration that is no 
longer default?

These "POST" messages stopped being logged around the time I upgraded.  The log messages that 
are no longer appearing are shown below and the IPs and domain names are bogus.  Everything else 
is the same.  Also below I added the common log confiuration lines.

I dont know what else to check.

DanT and Joshua,

I figured it out.  I apologize to you, your employer, your family, and the members of this list for 
being so terribly impatient and simply posting way too much.

I found that we are POST'ing the system wide PERL script which are getting logged in to a different 
file. 

Thank you for your time.

cheers,

Noah

Instead of begging, how about showing some more information.  I think
Joshua is right in stabbing you in the face with a fork about your most
recent post.  If you want "adequate, timely responses to some
difficulties that you are having with apache", then take it upon
yourself to find what (free) service is better than the Apache User's
Mailing List.  We've all got jobs, and don't have time (and in some
cases, even the knowledge) to respond to every single post.  We're a
collaborative group, providing free information and help, on a basis
that is compliant with our own schedules.

Are you going to show us what your LogFormat directive looks like for
the logging type of "combined"?

Thanks
