I followed the perfect server setup for Ubuntu 12.04 and ISPConfig 3. I keep getting this error, every 5-30 minutes. libtimedate-perl is already installed. The error doesn't say that something is missing. Code: piped log program ' /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly piped log program ' /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly piped log program ' /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly piped log program ' /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly piped log program ' /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly
What happens when you run Code: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t "%Y%m%d-access.log" -d "/etc/vlogger-dbi.conf" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd manually?
Nothing happens, the cursor keeps blinking as if it expects user input. I let it run for 25 minutes. But, if I hit Enter, I get back to the root console and it throws this error: Code: Use of uninitialized value $vhost in lc at /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger line 385, <STDIN> line 1. Use of uninitialized value $reqsize in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger line 463, <STDIN> line 1.

Looks like you use the wrong log format. Can you post your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and the output of Code: ls -la /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ?

Any suggestions? I now get over 120 errors a day. I installed ISPConfig on another server and the same thing happens.
I have the same issue...the issue started after I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.. The system was working fine with 11.04 and 11.10..
Yes, but I skipped step 15 (I din not install Mailman), step 16 (PureFTPd and Quota) and 21 (SquirrelMail). I am accessing ISPConfig via https. I did another installation inside a virtual machine and the first error appears during the installation or ISPConfig or immediately after that, when the admin page is accessed. Since it happened to me on 3 different machines and 2 more people are having the same problem, it might be a bug. Falko, when you have some time, please take a look at /var/log/apache2/error.log from one of your machines with Ubuntu 12.04 and ISPConfig 3.
Same problem here... and just after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04. And, the vlogger problem seems to be the cause of growing number of root apache processes. In some time it eats all server resources. Any solution ? I'm on a production server and, if I don't kill all apache processes and restart it each day, the server becomes unusable. Max
Greetings, I too am having this problem and was wondering if there was a way to disable Vlogger for the time being until a proper fix is out. On the bug tracking site it is labeled as low priority but I feel it should be a fair amount higher due to the fact that it makes a service go down which could have a big impact on a business or a site that gets a lot of traffic..
Low is the default priority in the bugtracker, so the bug is labeled fine. Higher prioritys are reserved for security related bugs only which is not the case here. The priority that is set there has no influence on bug fixing order of the devs as we go trough all bugs for the next release. If ypu like to disable vlogger, then comment out the Custom log line in the ispconfig.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory.
