SOLVED custom log settings in userdata conf file not working

[carock]

I have sites behind a web firewall, so the access logs show that one IP.

I have the firewall configured to use X-Forwarded-For header to relay the real client IP.

I configured a customer userdata config file setting to create the log format.

Following the instructions Modify Virtualhost Containers With Include Files - EasyApache - cPanel Documentation

And tailing the log, it isn't logging with the new format.

Here's what I have in the userdata config file.

LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined-waf
CustomLog /etc/apache2/logs/domlogs/website.com combined-waf

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hello @carock,

Did you already install mod_remoteip on this server? If not, you can install it using the following command:

yum install ea-apache24-mod_remoteip

Once it's installed, take a look at the instructions/discussion on the following threads for information on the specific entries to add to the Apache configuration:

Apache override templates installed warning
SOLVED - Visitor IPs in Logs using cloudflare
mod_cloudflare vs mod_remoteip

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Somewhere in those it started working.

I did all of the things in those links and it wasn't working. I went to lunch and when I came back it was working. ??

Thank you for the help
