After heavy searching I found that Apache logged the monthname both in the german and the english abrevation:
ts006p3.pop7a.netvision.net.il - - [01/May/1997:13:28:39 +0200] "GET /hsif01.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 2420 "http://www.siebert.de/"; "Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02 ; Windows 95)" 193.141.187.6 ts006p3.pop7a.netvision.net.il - - [01/Mai/1997:13:28:40 +0200] "GET /hsif02.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 1294 "http://www.siebert.de/"; "Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02 ; Windows 95)" 193.141.187.6 May is correct, but Mai is the german translation and ANALOG is confused of that ! The problem is that Apache switches between the english and german version without any concept. As you can see in the lines above the switch happens during running. We have a "setenv LANG de" in our shell startup script however it should not affect the right logging of apache ! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
