apache::vhost add prefix to logfiles

[Denny]

Hi there,

this is - for sure - pretty easy to solve but I'm a bit stuck right now...

I want to add a prefix to my apache-vhost access and error logs depending on what kind of application is installed on this vhost

Right now my config looks something like this:

apache::vhost { 'vhost.example.com':

  port            => '80',

  docroot         => '/var/www/html/someprettywebsite',

  serveradmin     => 'dontc...@example.com',

}

which produces two log files: 

/var/log/http/vhost.example.com_error.log 

/var/log/http/vhost.example.com_access.log

but what I want is something like:

/var/log/http/wordpress_vhost.example.com_error.log 

/var/log/http/wordpress_vhost.example.com_access.log

I've tried things like the example below, but didn't work :(

apache::vhost { 'vhost.example.com':

  port            => '80',

  docroot         => '/var/www/html/someprettywebsite',

  serveradmin     => 'dontc...@example.com',

  access_log_file => "wordpress_${access_log_file}",

}

Any suggestions are welcome,

Denny

Denny,

Which apache module are you using?

Ok,

So when you call `access_log_file => “wordpress_${access_log_file}”` puppet is pulling $access_log_file from the scope in which you called apache::vhost what you probably want to do is something like:

$vhost_name = ‘vhost.example.com'

$vhost_type = ‘wordpress’

apache::vhost {$vhost_name:

  port            => 80,

  docroot         => "/var/www/html/${vhost_name}”,

  serveradmin     => ‘ihaz...@mail.com’,

  access_log_file => “${vhost_type}_${vhost_name}_access.log”,

  error_log_file  => “${vhost_type}_${vhost_name}_error.log”

}

thanks, but this would be far to much work for like 100 vhosts, which I want to sort into 2-3 groups of vhosts

in fact, it's probably easier to put them into different directories

Maybe do something with create_resources and hiera? It has been a while since I have done it so I don’t have code handy but it is worth looking at.

try adding a servername param to your vhost config. 

ie from docs: 

apache::vhost { 'first.example.com non-ssl':
  servername => 'first.example.com',
  port       => '80',
  docroot    => '/var/www/first',
}
