Apache Access log is empty – how to change access log in apache php

Access log empty? Maybe the default access log file is changed??

Or, incase you want to change the default access log to somewhere else here is how you do it

To see the default Access log assuming you are on debian

1. Got to /etc/apache2/

2. Open file apache2.conf

vi apache2.conf

3. Search for CustomLog and see the location of the file. It will be in that location apache would put access log.

To change or create a new Access log

1. Go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

2. Open file default, here you can open respective default files that you have

3. On your virtual hosts, add CustomeLog and provide appropriate file that you want to add.. like

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

This will change the default log file location in the web server
