Help with ispconfig 3 perfect ubuntu and urchin

I am trying to set up urchin profiles for the sites I have hosted with my ispconfig server. The main thing I need to do is change log settings.
This line was added to apache2/apche2.conf file:
LogFormat "%v 135594252 t \"r\" >s b \"{Referer}i\" \"{User-Agent}i\" \"{Cookie}i\"" special

but I can't find the vhost info.

From the urchin docs:
Examine the <VirtualHost> entry you wish to enable this logging for.
Insert a # in front of any existing TransferLog or CustomLog entries to deactivate it/them, and insert the following (editing the pathname appropriately for your environment):

CustomLog /www/serverlogs/www.urchin.com_cookie_log special

My question is where can I find the site specific logs?
What file has the log config for the individual sites.

I am sorry if this is basic. I am still new to the linux world.
FYI Urchin is installed on a win2k3 machine.
Thanks for reading

Does anyone have any experience setting up urchin profiles for sites running under ispconfig3? I really just need to customize log format and location for all the vhosts (sites) that are running on my ispconfig machine. Here is what google says:

 

I've never worked with Urchin...

 

dxh

Here is what I done to get this working:

I edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

And add this line:

LogFormat "%h %v %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" \"%{Cookie}i\"" urchin

Above:

# Include the virtual host configurations:

So the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf looks like this:

LogFormat "%h %v %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" \"%{Cookie}i\"" urchin

# Include the virtual host configurations:
Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

Next I go to the ISPConfig 3 panel and from tab sites i chose with site i want to edit:

I chose Options tab

And add this in the text box Apache directives:

CustomLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.com/urchin.log urchin

And then hit Save button.

Now my log in the urchin format is /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.com/urchin.log

Then

chmod 755 /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/bnight.com/

So the urchin daemon can read the log.

That`s it.

I hope that this will work for you.

 

You are my personal savior this holiday season

This worked like a charm.

 

darn, I was adding an apache directive to another site in ispconfig and I made a typo. Hitting save seemed to kill apache and now I get a fail when trying to restart it.
What did I do? or better
Is there a way to fix it.

Thanks

 

For now I reverted to a snapshot. Not sure what I did.

 

OK so here is what you can do to fix this one:

First remove the lines from ISPConfig 3 options and hit save.

Then if the apache2 don`t start

Edit: /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.com.vhost

And remove the lines that you add with the typo error.

Then restart apache.

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And this is it.

 

Thanks for all your help. I am working and urchin profiles are running.
Just out of curiosity: what log settings do you use for the apache logs in urchin?
I use w3c for my IIS sites, and for now I am using auto for apache sites. Not sure if there is a better choice.
Either way, thank you for all your help in getting this working. Places like this make moving to open source a reality for the folks like me

 

Dave i don`t use Urchin just setup one on some test environment to see how it works and help you. I use auto for the logs from apache and it works like a charm.

Have a nice christmas,

I am using auto with success.
Thanks for going through all this to help.
