Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM HTTP Server users with Virtual Hosts    *
    *                  defined prior to a global LogLevel          *
    *                  directive                                   *

    *                      affect virtual hosts defined earlier    *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Apply this fix if you want IHS to honor a   *
    *                  global LogLevel specified after a virtual   *
    *                  host definition without its own LogLevel    *
    ****************************************************************
    Debug output was unexpectedly missing when a global 'LogLevel
    debug' existed in the configuration file.
    The missing output was from Virtual Hosts that did not specify
    LogLevel and expected to inherit it from the global LogLevel
    configuration that was located after the virtual host
    definition.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A virtual host definition that doesn't specify its own
    LogLevel will now use the global LogLevel even if it occurs
    later in the configuration file.
    
    This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:
    - 7.0.0.41
    - 8.0.0.12
    - 8.5.5.8
