>Description:
When trying to create a new LogFormat, such as the following:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%m %U %H\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
my_log_format
Apache doesn't recognize both %m and %H, this is the output of apachectl
configtest:
Syntax error on line 474 of /www/etc/httpd.conf:
Unrecognized LogFormat directive %m
Also, it produces an error on %H when %m is deleted (to see if %H is also
unknown) as the following:
Syntax error on line 474 of /www/etc/httpd.conf:
Unrecognized LogFormat directive %H
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert the following line near the line that defines the "combined" LogFormat:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%m %U %H\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
my_log_format
Then, do:
apachectl configtest
OR
apachectl restart
>Fix:
No, I didn't look at the source code of Apache, yet.
