Question
How do I get an access_log for my HTTP server?
Cause
If you do not choose to have an access_log when you created your HTTP server, you will have to add it manually if you decide you want it later.
Answer
When you create an HTTP server from the Web Administration GUI it will give you the option to have an access_log. If you do not select the option for an access_log and later you decide you want one, then you will have to add it manually.
Add the following directives in the global area of your HTTP configuration file if they do not already exist:
LogFormat "%h %T %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%{Cookie}n \"%r\" %t" cookie
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
CustomLog logs/access_log combined
LogMaint logs/access_log 7 0
LogMaint logs/error_log 7 0 You will have to stop and restart the HTTP server for the change to take effect using the "ENDTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(<instance>)" and "STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(<instance>)" commands. The log will be located in the servers directory: /www/<myserver>/logs
It can also be customized from the Web Administration GUI by clicking on Logs and then selecting the Custom Logs tab.
