Disable Access/Error Logging

[Wiz01]

Hello,

How can i disable the error and access logging related to domains?
(/domains/mydomain.com/logs)

It's included in the backup too, so it's a little annoying.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I've got 2 possible ways, one of them I'll post bellow:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp virtual_host2*.conf custom
cd custom

Open one by one files in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom

virtual_host2.conf
virtual_host2_secure.conf
virtual_host2_secure_sub.conf
virtual_host2_sub.conf

and replace

        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log combined
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.error.log

        CustomLog /dev/null
        ErrorLog /dev/null

and after that run

echo "action=rewrite&value=httpd" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

and restart apache.

By the way, you can disable rotating of the logs, which directadmin does, and after that enable your own scheme of rotating. Since you rotate logs in different place (with syste logrotate for example), they won't be included in backups.

Thanks for the useful answer!

Just one thing:
Is that correct to replace the CustomLog line with AccessLog?
Or it's just a typo?

 

[zEitEr]

Typo, fixed

 

[Wiz01]

Okay. Thank you.

There's an other line: CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.bytes bytes

Do i need to do something with this?
Thanks!

It's used by Directadmin for bandwidth calculating.

I followed the tutorial, but i can't restart apache:

An error has occurred
Details
/sbin/service httpd restart 2>&1

 

[zEitEr]

Do it in ssh, the error in Directadmin might occur even if Apache gets restarted.

I just asked my server manager.

In virtual_host2.conf the correct replacement is:

CustomLog /dev/null combined
ErrorLog /dev/null
