Addon Domain: Changing log file location

[Oranuf]

Fairly simple question, but haven't been able to find an answer through an extensive search. Relatively new to WHM and cPanel.

Once I create an AddOn Domain, the log files by default are ending up in ./usr/local/apache/domlogs/. However, i'd like to customize their location, and also make sure AWStats/Webalizer can find them. I don't see a place to configure this either in WHM or cPanel interfaces. Easy way to do both?

I have root access. System Spec:

Domlogs are defined in Apache main configuration file : /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf . Look for CustomLog defined for the domain under its virtual host entry.

# grep yourdomain.com /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf | grep CustomLog

You can modify the virtual host container for the domain by creating an include file as mentioned in : Modify Virtualhost Containers With Include Files - EasyApache - cPanel Documentation

You can look for the include file path for your domain in Apache configuration by :

# grep yourdomain.com /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf | grep Include

Create an include file in the directory shown in the output of last command (file should end with .conf). Define your custom domlog file in the include file. Then run :

/scripts/verify_vhost_includes --commit

/scripts/ensure_vhost_includes --all-users

If verify script returns, "OK" finally rebuild Apache configuration file :

/scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
