[thelist] Apache web logs

Ahoy The List:

Is it very difficult to turn on and off different tokens for the Web logs
that Apache churns out?

My hosting company doesn't log browser, OS, or referrer data for our
site--and this is the only information I want! I've asked them to start
logging these data, and after a couple of months of reminders, they've
finally told me that changing the way Apache logs would require an entire
reconfiguration of the system, which would be just too difficult.

They've suggested that I wait until our site is moved from the Linux box
it's presently on to a new NT server. My only option appears to be patient
waiting, since I don't make the decisions regarding where our site is
hosted, but I am curious about whether Got.net is telling the truth about
how hard it is to change the way Apache logs.

Thanks for your input.

Yours,

Zac Mutrux
