[thelist] more fun with AWStats and Apache logs

[John DeStefano]

So I'm trying to configure a server to use AWStats, and almost  
everything is fine (thanks Eduardo!), except for one set of fields in  
the Apache logs: the request (%r) and status (%s) fields.  The default  
setting for Apache is '%r %>s', which returns the request and the  
*last* status code.  So far, no combination of log formats for AWStats  
(1,4, or 'custom') and Apache I've tried has worked.

Using Apache's default format for 'common' logging:
  LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
... and AWStats's 'common' logging fails, because for some reason,  
Apache doesn't log the status for root '/' requests:
mysite.com - - [12/Jun/2008:14:57:39 -0400] "GET /" 20056

So I tried a custom format for AWStats:
  LogFormat %host %other %logname %time1 %methodurlnoprot %code %bytesd
... but this breaks with Apache log entries for anything other than a  
root request, such as:
mysite.com - - [12/Jun/2008:14:52:46 -0400] "GET /my/path HTTP/1.0"  
200 20056

So I removed the status code from Apache's log format:
  LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %b" common
... and from AWStats:
  LogFormat  %host %other %logname %time1 %methodurlnoprot %bytesd
... which breaks AWStats, because AWStats *requires* a 'code'.


What else can I try, aside from some aspirin?  What a headache. :/

Thanks,
