TransferLog directive

Purpose

The logfile format is as follows. Each line consists of:

remote-host [date] request

• remote-host is the hostname of the client
• date is the current date
• request is the HTTP request sent

Syntax

file is the name of the file to which transfers will be logged. It is either a full pathname, or a partial pathname relative to ServerRoot.

Only one TransferLog directive is allowed in the configuration file.

Default

TransferLog logs/access_log

Examples

This logs transfers to the file logs/downloads in the ServerRoot directory.

TransferLog /tmp/httpd-accesses

This logs transfers to the file /tmp/httpd-accesses.

TransferLog /dev/null

This effectively turns off transfer logging.
