Re: [PLUG] Apache v1.3 configuration


I can help with the last part regarding the logging of which virthost. You can create a single virthost entry (foo.com), then use ServerAlias for all the additional domains that also point to it (foo2.com, foo3.com, and so on).

By default, you probably have something like this in main config for the "combined" log format:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

Well, there is a log format variable for the virthost being requested, Its %V. So change the LogFormat for "combined" to:

LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

Then in your virthost directive, you just have:

CustomLog /home/user/logs/access.log combined

And thats it!

I have a couple questions about  Apache v1.3 configuration:

1. What's the best way to redirect all domain calls from domain1.com to domain2.com?

I've read the docs at <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html> and what I'm doing seems to be canonical hostname, but I'm hesitant to enter the example as shown because I don't understand all the symbols used. I need like a guide to the user guide! (Pointers to web site documentation or good books to decipher this stuff are greatly appreciated! I haven't found an "Apache Administration for Dummies" book yet.)



2. I want to use AWstats to analyze the log files. Are you using the common log file, combined log file format, or something else? While we're at it, are you using AW Stats or something else?




3. With virtual hosts, I've got a friend with 8 domains that he wants to point to the same set of web pages. Of course, he wants to see in the log file which domain is the most popular of the 8. Should I make vhost entries for each of them or is there an easier way?




Thanks a bunch for your help!
