Nonono You need a cron job that will run the command : cat access.log | /path/to/split-logfile it will create the logfiles to the directory where split-logfile is stored.You may want to edit the script a little so it outputs the logfiles to a given directory.
You merely need to change the CustomLog directive in your httpd.conf from CustomLog /var/log/apache/access.log combined to CustomLog /var/log/apache/access.log vhost knowing that you have the LogFormat directive :LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" \"%{forensic-id}n\"" vhost

Hi Jean Thank you great answer, just what I was looking for! One final question ;) can I just check how I should use split-logfile CustomLog "|/apache/split-logfile >> /path/to/user/logs/access_log" vhost Something like that? Thanks again Ben----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Christophe Montigny" <jcm@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Wildcard DNS with Separate Subdomain Log FilesHello,Just add a new definition of log format possibly called "vhost" : copy the "combined" log format and add a %h at the beginning of the definition.%h stands for "virtual host name".Everything will be logged to the regular access.log except the log lines will look like :user1.mydomain.com 10.10.10.10 <time> <accessed page> ...split-logfile will the,n parse that file and write into new files called user1.mydomain.com.log :10.10.10.10 <time> <access page> .... Those files can then be parsed by webalizer.That's what i'm doing, it's working fine. The only con is that when run by a cron job, it will add lines that already exist to the vhost logfiles, making them a lot bigger.You may want to delete logfiles before using split-logfile so that you don't end up with tons of redundant logfiles.*subliminal message*logfile* Hope that helps, Jean-Christophe Montigny Ben Fryer wrote:Hi All We have apache configured using wildcard DNS *.mydomain.comThe site has members who on sign up can instantly access their version of the site.user1.mydomain.com user2.mydomain.com ...We use a single VirtualHost definition that captures *.mydomain.com rewrites to a script that extracts the username displays the correct site.That all works fine!The problem we have is we now want too provide users stats for their subdomains using a web stats application such as webalizer, ideally having a separate log file for each subdomain.Is there any way we could get apache to automatically produce multiple log files for each sub domain in the same VirtualHost definition effectively:CustomLog /logs/www.mydomain.com_access_log combined CustomLog /logs/user1.mydomain.com_access_log combined CustomLog /logs/user2.mydomain.com_access_log combined ...There is a mention of a script called split-logfile in the manual but its not very clear how it can be used.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
