Details
The ‘log_config’ module provides for flexible logging of client requests and for the configuration of the information in each log.
Rationale:
Logging is critical for monitoring usage and potential abuse of your web server. To configure web server logging using the ‘log_format’ directive, this module is required.
Solution
Perform either one of the following:
– For source builds with static modules, run the Apache ‘./configure’ script without including the ‘–disable-log-config’ script options.
$ cd $DOWNLOAD/httpd-2.2.22
$ ./configure
– For dynamically loaded modules, add or modify the ‘LoadModule’ directive so that it is present in the Apache configuration as below and not commented out:
LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so
