Virtual Host and Logging

Hello,

I added a virtual server for a domain I am hosting and i have a
problem with logging.

The operating system is Windows XP SP2 and Apache is version 2.2.4.

Here is the virtual server entry:


ServerName woodpta.org
ServerAlias www.woodpta.org
DocumentRoot "c:\website\woodpta"
Customlog logs/woodpta.log combined


Woodpta.org points to my IP address. It is a DNS entry and not a URL
forward.

The server does properly find the document root and the website is
displayed, but nothing is logged except access from my own internal
network at 192.168.1.1

A new log file is created with the corerct name when the server is
started

No other logging entries for this domain exist in the configuration.

Does anyone have an idea of how of what I did wrong?

Thank you.

if that is indeed the website name, a dnslookup comes back as

#~> www.woodpta.org

I assume you dont live there so I would say its the A record in your
DNS that needs changing to point at your (presumably static) home IP
address, then you will start to see traffic from external IP addresses.

Re: Virtual Host and Logging

Thanks for your reply.

At the time I tried this, the domain was pointing to my static IP
address.

I have since changed it back to just using domain forwarding so I
could get the logging accomplished.

I tried it again today and had the same problem. The domain is
pointing at my IP address but the server will only log my internal
accesses.

Traffic from outside my network can see the website but the traffic is
not logged.

I can log by using domain forwarding and having the CustomLog
statement outside virtual host section. It won't log external traffic
with a DNS pointer and the CustomLog statement inside the virtualhost
section, however the website is available this way.

Thanks.
