Package: apache
Version: 1.3.20-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
It'd be nice if apache provided a way of preventing it from detaching from
the console (e.g. by way of a command-line or configuration option).
This would make it both easier and more useful to run apache under process
monitoring tools such as daemontools.
If apache's normal diagnostic messages were echoed to stdout or stderr
instead of syslog when it's run in the foreground, I would be even happier.
Additionally, apache could support logging to programs through pipes instead
of to files only. I'd like to say, for example, that the access log should
go to '| multilog t /var/log/sitename/'. In this case, apache should start a
multilog process for this logfile that's kept running as long as apache
runs, and all lines that would normally go into the logfile should be
written into the pipe. Since the external program can do timestamping as
well, an option to disable log entry timestamping could be provided, too.
This would have the advantage that access logs and error logs could be
size-limited automatically; multilog, for example, automatically rotates the
logfiles it creates, so you can specify absolute upper bounds for logfile
sizes; whereas with logrotate, a logfile may fill up all available space (or
grow beyond 2G, which can be just as unpleasant) between two invocations of
logrotate.
Naturally, it's possible to implement this 'logging to programs' by creating
named pipes in the filesystem, directing apache to log to them as files, and
having the external program (e.g. multilog) read from those pipes, but it'd
be cleaner if apache provided native support for this.
Best regards,
Andrew

Hi,
the appearance of the -F switch addresses my first wishlist item, and
logging to programs via CustomLog '|foo' has probably been possible for a
long time.
The bug can be closed.
