Hi ,
Does something like following work in Apache/2.0.55 ?
CustomLog "|/bin/gzip -c
/home/mydir/apache/logs/mydomain.com-access_log.gz" combined
In errorlog it says :
piped log program '/bin/gzip -c
/home/mydir/apache/logs/mydomain.com-access_log.gz' failed
unexpectedly
gzip:>>/home/mydir/apache/logs/mydomain.com-access_log.gz: No such
file or directory
What could be the issue here ?
It does work for me with Apache 2.2.x. Be sure to add whitespace before
and after ">>" (although that wasn't necessary for 2.2.x).
If it doesn't work for 2.0, you can use the following workaround, that
should do it: create gzip.sh (executable shell script) with the content:
#!/bin/sh
gzip -c >> $1
and use "|/path/to/gzip.sh mylogfile" in the CustomLog.
Caution: it's possible to loose log lines when restarting or stopping
the web server, because gzip buffers data and it might be implementation
dependent, whether gzip flushes them when signaled to stop. My tests
show, that there will be some information lost.
I think this discussion belongs to the users list. When proceeding the
discussion there, also mention which OS you are using.
