How to record referrer information in log files

[loggerhead]

Hi,

My logfiles do not contain any referrer information. Can anyone tell me what to do so that the log files start recording referrers.

Also the site contains mainly dynamic pages but again the logfiles is not recording any of the parameters. Does anyone know what to do to start logging this info.

Thank you

M.

Welcome to the board.

I assume you have access to your apache conf files?

under the "log format" directive. There should be several default examples. Uncomment them.

LogFormat "%a %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent

hi Brett

thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned the website is run on Microsoft IIS. Are the settings different for this. I have access to the configurattion files.

Thanks,
