Description Martin Poole 2007-04-27 13:59:49 UTC

Description of problem:

the apache configuration shipped with satellite produces logs in both common and
combined formats which makes analysis difficult.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rhn-apache-1.3.27-24.rhn.rhel4
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected results:

Consistent format (always combined)

Additional info:

The problem is caused by the inclusion of a TransferLog clause in the secure
host block

  <VirtualHost _default_:443>

  #  General setup for the virtual host
  #DocumentRoot "/etc/httpd/htdocs"
  #ServerName new.host.name
  #ServerAdmin you
  ErrorLog logs/error_log
  TransferLog logs/access_log

This overrides the definition earlier in the file

  CustomLog logs/access_log combined

but only applies to secured access. This results in mixed formats in a single
log file.

It should be sufficient to remove the clause in the secure block.

Comment 1 Mike McCune 2007-05-02 19:45:01 UTC

no time to fix this in 500

Comment 3 Milan Zázrivec 2008-07-17 14:43:26 UTC

The httpd setup on Satellite 5.1.0 and newer uses combined format for
access_log (log for insecure acccess) and common format for ssl_access_log
(log for secure access).

The httpd setup on Satellite 5.1.0 also no longer mixes two different
log formats in a single log file.
