Hello I am trying to configure Apache 2.4 (on Debian Buster ISPConfig 3.2.5) to log only the IP address even if dns hostname is resolved. I setup following "Apache Directives" in ISP (3.2) "Site"/"Options" tab : HostnameLookups on (-> I need this to resolve dns names in order to manage it in htaccess) SetEnvIf Server_Addr "xx.xx.xx.xx" MyRem_Addr=Remote_Addr LogFormat "%{MyRem_Addr}e %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%{MyRem_Addr}e %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O" common LogFormat "%{MyRem_Addr}e %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" proxy But this donot solve my issue. Apache is still loging dns domain name if resolved. Thanks fir advize on how to acheive this. JP FOL
Try changing LogFormat in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf. Assuming that resolves it, you'll need to make that change permanent in a conf-custom template.
Thanks for the suggestion. It donot resolve the issue. I also did it in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf without success... Which config should I modify : vhost_combined, combined, common ?
I did it ! In doing following changes in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "^(\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+).*" X_REAL_IP=$1 LogFormat "%v %{X_REAL_IP}e (%h) %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined_ispconfig CustomLog "| /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/vlogger -s access.log -t \"%Y%m%d-access.log\" /var/log/ispconfig/httpd" combined_ispconfig Now what do you mean by "to make that change permanent in a conf-custom template" ?
Copy /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf/apache_ispconfig.conf.master to /usr/local/ispconfig/server/conf-custom/ and make your changes there (ie. to the conf-custom file), too.
Thanks , done. Why this config change cannot be done from "Apache Directives" in ISP (3.2) "Site"/"Options" tab ?
Well, because it wasn't working. It looks like you should be able to change the LogFormat for a site; maybe try changing it specifying the 'combined_ispconfig' nickname.
Thanks for your contued support. In fact it cannot work. Because the customlog directive cannot be moved in "Site"/"Options" tab (not accepted by ISPConfig). And thus if executed before the expertimmodelarc.fr.vhost content it is never taken into account at this step. Thus only place is to include the change in 000-ispconfig.conf. May be this could be a future feature to include in IspConfig ? Thanks again for your advize in solving my need. JP FOL
ISPConfig uses a central log splitting script (vlogger), logs for all sites get piped to that script, this speeds up performance as apache does not has to keep a file handle open for each websites access.log file and it allows systems to be compatible with data protection like GDPR by e.g. anonymizing IP addresses. In such a setup as iSPConfig is using it, you can not use custom log formats per site.
