I think that if you do the custombuild option that anyone should be able to make changes to their httpd.conf file, and the files be saved the way you want them. I shouldn't have to be tasked with making a new template to accomplish what I want to make my logging files cleaner from this:
to this which is so much more professional looking:
Now what do you think looks better? Them all combined or them separated so you only have one file to look at with a whole lot less garbage to help diagnois issues, and see separate things. I like things nice and tidy and not full of useless junk.
Agent Strings should go into Agents, Referrers should go in referrers, errors should go in errors, and accesses should go into access.logs. To me the combined logging functions of Apache as setup by DirectAdmin turns them into a convaluted mess of chaos.
I should be able to add options to my logging functions, and they should be kept instead of over written each time by DirectAdmin. Whatever happened to manually editing your config files externally and via command line? I am a power user not a newbie, but I cannot do what DirectAdmin did for me and that is save me time and energy in setting up a hosting company.
So can we please allow this?
