Hello,
I am a newbie at unix...I am wondering if there is a way to set up multiple logs for different directories in a website?
For example: if I have my regular domain located at "/var/www/html/", which has its log file, and I want to set up an additional log file for "/var/www/html/members/". Is this possible? If so, what are the steps to get this setup?
Hi Tink,
Please forgive me, I am very green at this...here is the current entry in httpd.conf. How would I adjust this to create the multiple log files? There is only one domain on this server located at /var/www/html. The log files are working fine but I would like to add an additional log file for /var/www/html/members/.

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent

#CustomLog logs/access_log common
CustomLog logs/access_log combined
#
# If you would like to have agent and referer logfiles, uncomment the
# following directives.

#CustomLog logs/agent_log agent
#
# For a single logfile with access, agent, and referer information
# (Combined Logfile Format), use the following directive:
