The piped log program must be an executable command with possible
arguments, not something that you would pass to the shell. So if you
made a shell script containing
#!/bin/sh
/bin/cat >> /var/log/apache2/test.log
and then used the shell script as the target, you would have more luck.
Have you tried the python equivalent of a trivial program that simply
pipes the log entries to a file? What does it look like?
Joshua.
Good point on why straight out "cat" didn't work, but I just tried
using your mini cat script and that doesn't write anything to the log
either.
Thinking maybe python was causing me trouble, I also tried this perl script:
(copied from http://www.sudleyplace.com/pipederrorlogs.html)
-------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1; # Use unbuffered output
print while <STDIN>;
-------------
I don't get any output from that either.
Note that having apache write the logs directly works fine, it is only
a problem when I try to use a pipe.
Any other ideas?
