In addition to this, third-party modules may provide logging capabilities, or inject entries into https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/logs.html the existing log files, and applications such as CGI programs, or PHP scripts, or other handlers, may send messages to the server error log. In this document we discuss the logging modules that are a standard part of the http server. Security Warning Anyone who can write to the directory where Apache httpd is writing a log file can almost certainly gain access to the uid that the server is started as, which is normally root. Do NOT give people write access to the directory the logs are stored in without being aware of the consequences; see the security tips document for details. In addition, log files may contain information supplied directly by the client, without escaping. Therefore, it is possible for malicious clients to insert control-characters in the log files, so care must be taken in dealing with raw logs.

tom, Apr 6, 2008. tom Member The ISPConfig Server crashed including the two apache servers because there was no more swap space left. The left space a faulty script has filed by growing up the error.log in /var/www/webxy/log/error.log.

This will prevent your server from crashing but not apache when the quota is reached. till, Apr 6, 2008 #2 tom Member The owner of the logfiles are the systemusers. With ISPConfig I've set a quota in ISP Web --> Basis --> apache log Speicher MB to 60MB but if I check it the user has no limit.

It's a 32bit system but I suppose in my case it does'nt belong to the thread you put a link because the logline is'nt > 2GB. The quota in ISPConfig does'nt has any effect. And therefore it a the ordenary error.log from a users account ca grow up unlimited. So again: Why does the user account limit does'nt have any effect to quota? tom, Apr 7, 2008 #5 falko Super Moderator ISPConfig Developer Did you set a logsize limit on the Options tab of that web site? falko, Apr 8, 2008 #6 tom Member falko said: Did you set a logsize limit on the Options tab of that web site?Click to expand... Yes and No, it was set by default to 30%. What does 30% mean? 30% of the free space on the disk or 30% of the hole disk?

I suggest you upgrade to ISPConfig 2.2.22, I've rewritten the webalizer.php script, so hopefully it solves your problem. falko, Apr 9, 2008 #9 tom Member
