Re: Re: 0 length robot.txt (Apache Users)

It's described on the CustomLog docs: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog

"The second argument specifies what will be written to the log file. It can specify either a ***nickname*** defined by a previous LogFormat directive, or it can be an explicit ***format*** string as described in the log formats section. "

Either you use this way:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
CustomLog /home/user/logs/XXX.access_log combined

Or this way:

CustomLog "/home/user/logs/XXX.access_log" "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""

You see, "combined" is just a nickname to the LogFormat, you can add something like "my-site-special-log-format" and as long as you call it on the CustomLog it will work, cause it's just an alias.

Well, I am more confused. I changed the log from common to debug and the site has been fine for days now.

- CustomLog /home/user/logs/XXX.access_log combined
+ CustomLog /home/user/logs/XXX.access_log debug

This was a mistake, as it simply logs “debug” now, so the logs are useless, but the site is up.

In https.conf:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
