"errors out via the web" What error message do you get? Is there anything in the Apache error logs that's relevant?
Does the web server account have write access to the ipaccess.log file?

I am trying to log the users IP via the web and nothing happens the date nore the ip get there. Also if I put the append to the open statement I get an error via the web also. This is the code. I got it to show up via the web but it never gets to the file. Is there something I am missing? #!/usr/bin/perl $logfile = '/usr/local/apache/logs/ipaccess.log'; $date = scalar localtime; open(IPLOG, $logfile) || die "Cannot open $logfile"; $ip = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}; print IPLOG $date; print IPLOG "$ip"; close IPLOG; If I do it this way it errors out via the web: #!/usr/bin/perl $logfile = '/usr/local/apache/logs/ipaccess.log'; $date = scalar localtime; open(IPLOG, ">>$logfile") || die "Cannot open $logfile"; $ip = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}; print IPLOG $date; print IPLOG "$ip"; close IPLOG; Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------.
