Hmm. The apache docs for vhosts advise that with a small number of sites this is fine. The issue is evidently using a file descriptor for each of the logfiles that must be written to so I guess I'm ok for now but I hate to build a scalability issue into the configuration. FWIW you can read about this issue at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/fd-limits.html The client currently has about 12 sites we will be vhosing for but owns over 72 domain names currently and I can see this growing pretty quickly. Right now I have added %v to the end of the logformat so I can split the logs with a simple perl script I will test tonight. I found the script at: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum23/1643.htm I think for this to work easily I will need to rotate the logs daily (rather than the logrotate default of weekly) and run the split script immediately following the nightly rotation on the access_log.1 file. That way the script will not have to be modified to track where in the log it left off the previous run. The script looks like it would be screaming fast and only chew up recourses for the minute or so I am estimating it will take to run. I intend to have the split script run as part of the webalizer cron script that I will modify to call webalizer on each of the vhost conf files. This feels scalable and other than setting up the webalizer_vhost.conf file when I add a new domain it should run ok (I hope) OF course none of this is tested yet and I may have to punt after I get into testing tonight. Thanks for all replies, and as always additional tips welcome. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
