13.2.2. Logging
By default, Apache writes the transfer log to the file /var/log/httpd/access_log and the
error log to the file /var/log/httpd/error_log.
Figure 13-4. Logging
The transfer log contains a list of all attempts to access the Web server. It records the IP
address of the client that is attempting to connect, the date and time of the attempt, and
the file on the Web server that it is trying to retrieve. Enter the name of the path and file
in which to store this information. If the path and filename does not start with a slash (/),
the path is relative to the server root directory as configured. This option corresponds to the
TransferLog directive.
You can configure a custom log format by checking Use custom logging facilities and en-
tering a custom log string in the Custom Log String field. This configures the LogFormat
directive. Refer to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats for
details on the format of this directive.
The error log contains a list of any server errors that occur. Enter the name of the path and
file in which to store this information. If the path and filename does not start with a slash
(/), the path is relative to the server root directory as configured. This option corresponds to
the ErrorLog directive.
