Dear Xiti users,
I salute you one and all.
This is in rewsponse to Les' request for an log configuration example:
----------------
[Accesslog]
Custom = "[],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"
Cycle = "weekly"
Cycle-arg = "past/ac%yy%mm%dd.log"
Cycle-day = "0"
Cycle-how = "rename"
Cycle-lines = "0"
Cycle-size = "0"
Cycle-time = "00:00"
Enabled = "1"
Filename = "access.log"
Format = "XLML"
Header = ""
Local = "0"
Translate = "0"
[Errorlog]
Custom = "<LOG
<EVENT><DATE></DATE><CLIENT></CLIENT><CLIENTIP></CLIENTIP-
ERVERIP><REQUEST></REQUEST><QUERRY></QUERRY><METHOD></METHOD><SAU>/TTS<EEVD<-
RECEIVED><SENT></SENT><DURATION></DURATION><FILENAE>/FLEAM><SEAGNT</SEAGNT<R-
FERER></REFERER><USERNAME></USERNAME>SERICE</SRVIE><HOS></HOS></VEN> /OG>"
Cycle = "weekly"
Cycle-arg = "past/er%yy%mm%dd.log"
Cycle-day = "0"
Cycle-how = "rename"
Cycle-lines = "0"
Cycle-size = "0"
Cycle-time = "00:00"
Enabled = "1"
Filename = "errors.log"
Format = "XLML"
Header = ""
Local = "1"
Translate = "0"
------------
Oh, by the way, any one who needs certain dynamic content features
unsupported in Xitami might want to take a look at sambar server.
I can here you breathing easier already.
