Re: [SLUG] Apache vhost logs and file descriptors limits: individuallogs vssingle log
If you're worried, then why not just go ahead and set up so that you log to a single file and then split from there. split-logfile comes with apache for this purpose. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/programs/other.html Andrew On Mon, 4 Aug 2003, Voytek Eymont wrote: > Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 13:53:23 > From: Voytek Eymont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SLUG] Apache vhost logs and file descriptors limits: > individual logs vssingle log > > ** Reply to note from "Oscar Plameras" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 4 Aug 2003 13:33:12 > +1000 > > > > There is a way around.

So, ip numbers for each virtual host is a must. thanks, Oscar all these are name based vhosts, and I don't have spare IP addresses to asign to them. I'm just trying to scertain whether I should run individual vhost logs vs a single log for all vhosts, from the perpective of file handles use.

You can have separate log files for each virtual host. Assign ip number for each virtual host. You may also need encryption between your server and clients for security, in these times when users have snippers, tcpdump, and ethereal. So, ip numbers for each virtual host is a must. To assign ip numbers, I have In my /etc/rc.d/rc.local ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.5 ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.6 ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.7 (Note:Replace 'eth' accordingly, depending on your Network Card) Then, in your forward named (BIND) database, learn IN A 192.168.1.5 manual IN A 192.168.1.6 testIN A 192.168.1.7 Ensure to configure reverse named (BIND) database, too, namely: 5INPTRlearn.noy.com.au. 6INPTRmanual.noy.com.au. 7INPTRtest.noy.com.au.
