Hi Luca,


Yes I checked the error log format. Unfortunately, this only applies to log lines generated by apache and not to the lines created by cgi scripts. The lines created by a cgi script are just redirected to the httpd-error.log as they are. For example if you print "test" to stderr in a cgi script, this gets written just like that to the error log. No vhost information, no timestamp, no user, just what you printed.

My error log format is: 


ErrorLogFormat "%v [%{u}t] [%-m:%l] [pid %P:tid %T] %7F: %E: [client\ %a] %M% ,\ referer\ %{Referer}i"


But as I said, the ErrorLogFormat is not applied to log lines generated by cgi scripts.

The apache version I am using is 2.4.25.

Hi Sandro,

have you checked https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#errorlogformat ? What is the current format that you are using? Also, what version of httpd?

Hi suomi,


Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I am not using php-fpm but fcgid. As far as I know there is no such possibility in fcgid. 

Any other ideas?

Hi Sandro

are you using php-fpm as a cgi frontend? If yes: the stdout and stderr
are both redirectet to the php-fpm log (/var/log/php-fpm/*) if you have
in /etc/php-fpm/www.conf:

catch_workers_output = yes

I don't think this will solve all your problems, but it is a good
starting point.

Because there isn't even a timestamp or any other useful information on those lines, I can't find out, which vhost created  the error. In addition those log lines often lack a "new line" at the end, and it the next log message gets appended to the current line instead of being written to a new line. Because of this, the next line which would have been in the correct format is also lost, because it can't be parsed automatically anymore.

Unfortunately I could not find anything about cgi script output logging in the apache documentation (except that everything sent to  stderr is written to httpd-error.log) or mailing list archives.
