I have wrote a letter to several apache core developrs but they all just ignored it or they too busy to answer.
So, the problem is simple: when an application (script, program) is run under mod_cgid and it as usually prints all errors to stderr all this output ends up in main server error log but not in the appropriate virtual host error log. Also, error log is not formatted properly, but is not much of an importance. This bug (or feature, or deficiency) is very persistant and is known since around 2002. I have installed 2.2.6 lately and see no changes in the situation. Reading through module code did not give me a clue what developers think about it. Bug report is marked closed with LATER. Such behavior of the module does not allow debugging of cgi scripts, which renders this module very uncomfortable and pretty much usless (switching back and forth between mod_cgi and mod_cgid just to debug is too much hussle). I have tried to undestand the module in order to try fixing it, but my current knowldge of apache internals is puny. I didn't get any clue. So, my qustions are: 1) What prevents mod_cgid from logging correctly? 2) Can it be fixed at all before apache 3.0 is released in 20xx? 3) When fix can be expected? 4) Is there some kind of workaround? (like writing stderr into a separate file defined in virtual host config, so at least it can be placed in the appropriate directory and will contain stderr messages only from scripts of this virtual host). Is vhost config accessible for mod_cgid for this?
