I need multiple log files to work in order to get appache-overflows or 
botsearch, or whater to work.

But at least with your help I was able to get a fail2ban-regex to produce a result. So that got me going into the right direction.

Ok, from what I remember, you've got apache-overflows working now, and you've 
seen how to add log files.

What do we need to do to make "your" fail2ban work for you?

    Something like that. :-)

    It would be so helpful if we could see your config files :-)

    Are you comfortable sharing them yet?

    If you want to email privately, I'm happy to do that. I've shared my config 
files here before.

    Please do not worry about sharing stuff like that. We've all got f2b, we 
all know how bad it can be to set it up
    and to make nice .conf files.

    We can set it all up perfectly with a bit of effort :-)

        Although the space does produce better results, so it's needed.

        I already tried both methods, and even tried spaces after the line.
        Maybe I got a buggy version of Fail2Ban.

        Thank you for the information.

        Ok, I think you mentioned that the semi-colon doesn't work either. But 
I'd like to check.

        Can you tell me if this works:

        [apache-overflows]
        enabled = true
        port = http,https
        logpath = /var/log/apache2/error.log;/var/log/apache2/error2.log
        maxretry = 2

        So, no spaces between the two file paths/names, just a ;

        Also I think maybe you might need an extra space if you use the 
"newline" method. I think I forgot to say this!

        Does this work:

        [apache-overflows]
        enabled = true
        port = http,https
        logpath = /var/log/apache2/error.log
         /var/log/apache2/error2.log
        maxretry = 2

        Note that when I pressed enter at the end of the "logpath" line, I then 
typed a space before I typed
        "/var/log/apache2/error2.log

        Please try both of those. Fail2ban is very "fussy" about its 
configuration files. I have made so many
        errors while writing configuration files. It is painful!

            For example this will error:

            [apache-overflows]
            enabled = true
            port     = http,https
            logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log
            /var/log/apache2/error2.log
            maxretry = 2


            ERROR  Failed during configuration: Source contains parsing errors:

                    [line 883]: '/var/log/apache2/error2.log\n'


            But this will not error:

            [apache-overflows]
            enabled = true
            port     = http,https
            logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error.log
            maxretry = 2

            And this will not error:

            [apache-overflows]
            enabled = true
            port     = http,https
            logpath  = /var/log/apache2/error2.log
            maxretry = 2


            /var/log/apache2/error2.log is a substitute name.

            Please paste the jail's configuration here - we will use "fresh 
eyes" to see if we can find the
            problem :-)

                I figured that was it, but then wondered surely he knows it's

                I thought spacing was working before, but it's not, nether does 
";" and nether does a new line. So
                I just put the others on new lines, and commented them out. 
That works :-) sortof :-)
