Re: [users@httpd] Global and virtual host log configuration

Hi all.

This is cross-posted from the users mailing list. Please reply on the dev list.

It seems to be an irritating limitation of the configuration system
that one cannot configure httpd to simultaneously log to a global
access log as well as a virtualhost log since the virtualhost
customlog option overrides the global customlog option.

Perhaps an option that allows the virtualhost customlog options to
complement the global option rather than override it would be
possible? This would avoid the need to pipe to log splitting scripts
to achieve the desired effect.


Many thanks,

Tez
