Thanks Georgi, in my case there is only one virtual host, but of course there are around 500 httpd child processes running and writing into one cronolog. That is the part that I couldn't quite grasp. When I do a ps auxww, I see a cronolog process (just 1) all the time, so it sure looks like all the httpd children are writing to this one cronolog process. Tp avoid corruption, should we have one cronolog process for each httpd child, instead? Thushara On 10/11/06, Georgi Chorbadzhiyski <gf@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Basically apache just opens the log program and writes requests to it no synchronization takes place. Make sure every cronolog instance writes to it's own file. -- Georgi Chorbadzhiyski http://georgi.unixsol.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
