>How-To-Repeat: Start a server with 80 virtual hosts logging to a program which simply reads each line from stdin and writes to stdout. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Tue Nov 11 12:45:20 PST 1997 State-Changed-Why: Does anything show up in the error log? Are you just running one copy of the program, or one for each virtual host? Do you have seperate logfiles for each virtual host? ie. is it possible you are running into file descriptor limitations? >Unformatted: Marc, There is one transferlog statement which is outside any virtual host definition; There should only be one invocation of the program. There is nothing in the error log. This is the same problem I posted to Usenet last week and mailed to you twice. I never did receive any e-mail on this and had to go back to the Apache site to get the report below. I don't suspect problems with my e-mail (I receive tons of it daily) however, if you have tried to respond to me, and that did not work, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] also work. As a web hosting provider I need the ability to make log file data available to my customers. I need to do this in a secure fashion. If this cannot be done, then I need a different server solution.
