 The prefix of HTTP access log filenames, used when HTTP_LOGGING is enabled.  By default (when the ''ONE_HTTP_LOG'' option is **not** enabled), the current virtual host, date, and ''.log'' are appended to this string (e.g.''http-2005-03-12.log''). The prefix of HTTP access log filenames, used when HTTP_LOGGING is enabled.  By default (when the ''ONE_HTTP_LOG'' option is **not** enabled), the current virtual host, date, and ''.log'' are appended to this string (e.g.''http-2005-03-12.log'').
 +
 +=== CustomLogFormat ===
 +
 +When the ''CustomLogFormat'' setting is not used, the default format is the Apache "Combined Log Format".
 +
 +When the ''CustomLogFormat'' setting is used, the supported [[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html|Apache Custom Log Format directives]] are:
 +
 +| %% | The percent sign | 
 +| %a | Client IP address of the request | 
 +| %B | Size of response in bytes, excluding HTTP headers. | 
 +| %b | Size of response in bytes, excluding HTTP headers. In CLF format |  
 +| %h | Remote hostname or IP address | 
 +| %H | The request protocol | 
 +| %l | Remote logname (from identd, if supplied) | 
 +| %p | Server TCP port number |
 +| %r | First line of request | 
 +| %s | Status | 
 +| %t | Time the request was received, in the format [18/Sep/2011:19:18:28 -0400] | 
 +| %u | Remote user if the request was authenticated | 
 +| %v | The canonical ServerName of the server serving the request. (the vhost) | 
 +| %{remote}p | the client's actual port | 
 +| %{Referer}i | the HTTP Referer [sic] header line | 
 +| %{User-agent}i | the HTTP User-agent header line |
 +
 +Note: Double-quote characters used in the format string do **not** need to be escaped (i.e. with a backslash)
 +
 +Example:
 +
 +This is the equivalent of Apache's combined log format which is used by default.
 +
 +    CustomLogFormat = %h %l %u %t "%r" %s - "%{Referer}i" "%{User-agent}i"
 +
 +This is the equivalent of Apache's vhost_combined log format.
 +    
 +    CustomLogFormat = %v:%p %h %l %u %t "%r" %s - "%{Referer}i" "%{User-agent}i"
