Justin - the wrapper script (in its original form) that I provided in my previous email has been tested in this manner against sample data. You are correct about my sed syntax - I have replaced those commands with s/antelope// in the formats provided below, and verified that there is no output. Editing the scripts referenced below so that they also replace antelope with nothing also results in no output. Any other thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Justin Pasher [mailto:justinp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 12:18 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: mod_log_config issue Joe Hammerman wrote: > Hi Dan, > > When the sed command is replaced with /bin/cat, logs are generated.

All three of the sed commands above are invalid, so it doesn't surprise me there is no output. $ echo "test" | sed s/// sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression $ echo "test" | sed 's///' sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression $ echo "test" | sed -e 's///' sed: -e expression #1, char 0: no previous regular expression Since replacing it with cat works, it means the sed command in your original code is not working as expected. Try logging directly to a file, then run your sed commands or wrapper script on that file (e.g. cat this.log > sed -e 's/blah/blah/'). Once you have verified that is working properly, then come back to putting it into the apache config. There is also a chance that the escape sequences for a shell are different than those for the apache directive. You can verify that by starting out with a much simpler sed script, then expanding from there. -- Justin Pasher --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
