Why can't I get Apache2 mod_dumpio working under Lucid Lynx Ubuntu?
I'm trying to capture all of the traffic to and from an Apache2 web server for troubleshooting purposes, so I did the following to try to set mod_dumpio up properly:
- Used a2enmod to enable mod_dumpio
- Changed LogLevel to "debug" in apache2.config
- Added "DumpIOInput On", "DumpIOOutput On" and "DumpIOLogLevel debug" to apache2.config
- Issued "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" to restart Apache
- Issued "apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES" to make sure mod_dumpio was loaded
I'm watching /var/log/apache2/error.log, but not seeing much there, and certainly not a dump of all input and output.
Can anyone help?
I've been struggling with this for a day, too. It seems they moved mod_dumpio output to the log level 'trace7' and disabled parameter DumpIOLogLevel.
I needed
LogLevel trace8
or
LogLevel info dumpio:trace8
for it to work.
Do remember that you usually have LogLevel at two levels, server level and virtual host level, check both.
NM...got it!
The problem was apparently that just one of my VirtualHosts (as defined in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled) had a LogLevel declared that was something other than debug, thus interfering with the overall behavior of mod_dumpio for reasons that escape me :)
I hope someone else finds this helpful.
