Separate Error log for each virtual host

I would like to configure apache such that the errors for a specific virtual
host get logged in their own file. I tried something like this:


ErrorLog "C:/location/of/acd/logs/error.log"

use lib 'C:/location/of/acd';
$ENV{MODE} = 'development';

ScriptAlias / "C:/locattion/of/acd"

SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ACD::Dispatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all



But it seems to be ignoring my ErrorLog directive and still puts the logs in
the regular place. What am I doing wrong?

Are there other virtual hosts too? That config would make that
particular vhost put it's error_log at
C:/location/of/acd/logs/error.log. Typically people just have a
different path in their ErrorLog directive for each vhost.

Yeah, I have another virtualhost at *:80 with it's own ErrorLog
directive, but of course it still doesn't seem to honor that and puts
the errorlog in the default place anyway.

This doesn't really have anything to do with mod_perl at all i think you
might want to try removing all the mod_perl stuff and getting your
logging working how you want, then add the mod_perl stuff back in.

It's kind of unusual to have an ErrorLog directive and not have an
AccessLog directive. It's also unusual to not have
ServerName/ServerAlias defined when you're using * in a VirtualHost
directive. It's also unusual (at least IMO) to not have a DocumentRoot
defined for the vhost.

I'll look at the AccessLog and ServerName/ServerAlias stuff. There IS
a document root for the other Virtual Host, and I will add one for
this one right now. Once I have dealt with those issues I'll post
again.

Thanks!

Are you wondering why all your warn() output is directed to only one log=20
file? If yes, then try the logging functions in Apache2::Log instead.

I don't know about windows but on a UNIX-like system the default=20
ErrorLog is opened on file descriptor 2 and that happens to be STDERR.=20
That's why all the perlish warn()ings go to that file.

You will notice that the methods in Apache2::Log all require a request=20
or server object. This is necessary to decide into which error log the=20
message should be written. Since the perl warn() lacks that information=20
it cannot log to a specific file.

You can override the warn() by either supplying a $SIG{__WARN__} handler=20
or by implementing *CORE::GLOBAL::warn=3Dsub {...}. That function can=20
then check if Apache2::RequestUtil->request or=20
Apache2::ServerUtil->server returns something useful and the use that=20
object with Apache2::Log.

If your Apache error messages all go to the same file then your=20
configuration is wrong. If you use named virtual hosts you have perhaps=20
forgotten the ServerName directive (as Adam pointed out) or your=20
requests lacks the Host-header. I think Apache complains in that case=20
at startup. Turn on LogLevel debug. For IP/port based vhost you don't=20
need either.

Re: Separate Error log for each virtual host

I am not quite sure what I did differently, but the per server error
log is working now. Here's the config if anyone wants it:


ErrorLog "C:/path/to/acd/logs/error.log"

use lib 'C:/path/to/acd';
$ENV{MODE} = 'development';

ScriptAlias / "C:/path/to/acd"

SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler ACD::Dispatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
