It's useless to have one's own IP to be shown in the /var/log/apache2/access.log. How can it be skipped? The instructions I found didn't work out, "CustomLog" was not allowed etc. I guess that it can be done, but how? It would give a much neater logfile.

Hi Toukie,

This is a good question, which I'm unfortunately not able to answer. It should be posted in the B2 & B3 support forum though. This part of the forum is for posting howto's explaining how to install/update/tweak a part of the B2/B3 software. If you've solved the qustion you might want to write the howto here

Hi Binkem,

You are probably right about posting but this thing falls somewhere between the categories. Support is more when things don't work, this was like a feature request.

Closest I came was this: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/apache-s ... onnection/ but I didn't find the things that are named there. Maybe there is a clue for someone who knows things better. Apache may have changed a bit, or there are different versions or whatever.

The thing can be done for sure. I'm waiting for the eventual Howto to be posted right here

The easiest way to get rid of localhost is

Cat access_log | grep -v localhost

.
The second bes t solution i guess is splitting your host into two separate vhosts, both with a documentroot to the same position. Then make one point to the. Internal interface

<virtualhost 127.0.0.1:80>

and the other to the external inerface. Then finally set two separate log files. Domt forget to update syslog.conf as well..

THNX nobody!
The alternative number 1 works fine when written as:
cat /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep -v xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz One's own IP is omitted, that's neat.

The other alternative flies far beyond my digital horizon.

There's no need to update syslog. I use named hosts with separate log files myself and it works straight out of the box. Even log rotation is handled.

apologies, I meant logrotate. Depending om what exotic logfilename you enter in the vhost config, you may very well need to add that name in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2. If you cal the file /var/log/apache/somehostfilename.log then it is automatically included.
