[SLE] Setting up httpd logging in SuSE
Has anyone setup a log file for httpd activity? I want to watch what my browser sends and receives for a while. I'll admit I tried the man pages, but left without understanding. Is this only possible if a server (Apache) is running? Thanks in advance. JT ____________________________________________________________ John A.

Logging is usually only done on the server side. If you want to log all client activity, you need to setup a proxy server, that logs all client requests. It should be possible to create some kind of "dummy proxy", that only logs all incoming requests and forwards them to the server afterwards.

What kind of information do you want to see? access_log will show basic info, of course. Or you could use your mod_perl enabled server to look at the request_rec that Apache builds to see what the request looks like.
