By default, smf captures everything that is sent to stdout & stderr and redirects the output to /var/svc/log/service:instance.log. Services are still free to used their own log files and I believe apache is one of them (logs files are configured in the httpd.conf file).
There are different ways to redirect the logs. If you have access to Sunsolve, Infodoc 87992 "How to redirect service log output with SMF" talks about them. You can use svccfg but it is not supported as a long term solution and should only be used for debug because it can break service upgrade. eg. # svccfg -s [FMRI] "setprop start/exec = \"[cmd] > /mylogfile 2>&1 \"" # svcadm refresh [FMRI] -- Renaud -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [smf-discuss] Is it possible to change the log file for a service?
