>Description:
When Apache creates an errorlog file, STDERR from any CGI's are directed to
the Apache ErrorLog directive file. However, when using a pipe as the ErrorLog
only the "Date and Summary" line gets passed to the program. The STDERR from
the CGI goes nowhere (or at least never gets seen by the error handler)
>How-To-Repeat:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open MYLOG, ">> /tmp/mylog";
while (<>)
{
print MYLOG;
}
And then create a CGI with syntax errors and you'll never see them there. :)
