Are you trying to add your own virtual server's name to your apache log filename? If so, read the discusion on how to log virtual hosts. You will find it on the manual home page under: Users' Guide-> LogFiles->Virtual Hosts. You can then use the apache supplied perl script, split-logfile to do the following: >From the manual: split-logfile This perl script will take a combined Web server access log file and break its contents into separate files. It assumes that the first field of each line is the virtual host identity (put there by "%v"), and that the logfiles should be named that + ".log" in the current directory. The combined log file is read from stdin. Records read will be appended to any existing log files. Or you can set up logging for each specified virtual host like this: <VirtualHost 10.1.2.3> DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.foo.com ServerAdmin robert@xxxxxxxxxx ServerName projekte2.fh-aargau.ch CustomLog /var/log/apache2/projekte2.fh-aargau.ch/com_log combined ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/projekte2.fh-aargau.ch/error_log </VirtualHost> You will need to create the /projekte2.fh-aargau.ch/ directory under /var/log/apache2. This will keep logs for each virtual host seperate in their own sub-directory.
