I'm trying to follow the subversion/svn example for putting svn-related (over http) activities into a new log and decyphering the actions, but nothing is appearing in the new log.
>From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html, it says mod_dav_svn, however, can come to your aid. By activating an “operational logging” feature, you can ask mod_dav_svn to create a separate log file describing what sort of high-level operations your clients are performing. To do this, you need to make use of Apache's CustomLog directive (which is explained in more detail in Apache's own documentation). Be sure to invoke this directive outside of your Subversion Location block: <Location /svn> DAV svn … </Location> CustomLog logs/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION In this example, we're asking Apache to create a special logfile svn_logfile in the standard Apache logs directory. The %t and %u variables are replaced by the time and username of the request, respectively. The really important part are the two instances of SVN-ACTION. When Apache sees that variable, it substitutes the value of the SVN-ACTION environment variable, which is automatically set by mod_dav_svn whenever it detects a high-level client action. I've added what I think is a suitable CustomLog (I've tried both to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and/or to /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf): CustomLog /var/log/apache2/subversion.log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION but although the file is created nothing is being added to it, and I'm still seeing copies of the Apache/svn cmds in apache2/access.log: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/SUBVERSION$ tail /var/log/apache2/access.log veri.phy.umist.ac.uk - atmos_svn [11/Jan/2008:17:34:01 +0000] "PROPFIND /svn/atmos_modelling/OpenMP_2 HTTP/1.1" 207 463 "-" "SVN/1.4.4 (r25188) neon/0.25.5" {etc} Can anybody point out what I've overlooked? thanks, Michael
