I'm running Apache 1.3.3 (soon to be 1.3.6) on FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE. I've got a main web site and a few virtual hosts, with more virtual hosts expected. I've got separate access and error logs for the main site and for each virtual host. Right now the logs are kept in a directory only writable by root (/var/log/www), and the files are owned by root. I want to set up daily log rotation with the output going into a file under a user home directory (e.g. /home/foobar/logs/1999-03-26.log). I understand there are some security problems with this, but I'm not fully up to speed on the details. I know that some of the large web hosting companies do their logs this way, so I assume there must be a secure way to handle it. Can anybody point me in the right direction? --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
