Wierd thing happened with Apache

date modified doesn't work

[smiddy]

I made one change to my httpd.conf file and now the date modified column in Windows Explorer doesn't update even though the logs are updating with each visitor. Bizarre.

I changed the log file so that it creates a new access file for each of my virtual servers. The logging works great and updates the log accordingly. But I used to watch for 'accesses' to my system by watching the access log file date column for changes. After making this change from one common log file to one per virtual server, the date modified column in WE doesn't change.

Any ideas?

I wanted to add that the size field is also not updating. :(

It's possible that the original log file was marked as non-cacheable and that the new log files are not. Try fetching them with the Server Headers Checker [webmasterworld.com], and note any differences in cache-control headers.
