I have no idea either way. I'm just reporting it to both sides for a developer to figure out. I understand that it may be a bad idea to do logs over nfs, but regardless of what is a smart thing to do, it should still work. -jeremy > Synopsis: writing access logs over nfs > > State-Changed-From-To: open-closed > State-Changed-By: marc > State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 1 13:48:39 PDT 1998 > State-Changed-Why: > No, it is not an Apache problem.
