Description
In /etc/nginx/conf.d/example.com.conf:
map $http_user_agent $access_log {
~*bot off;
default /var/log/nginx/example.com/access.log;
}
server {
access_log $access_log main;
}
File is included from /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, after log_format main is defined
error.log contains:
[crit] 9091#0: *252296 open() "/etc/nginx//var/log/nginx/example.com/access.log" failed (2: No such file or directory) while logging request
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is because access_log with variables respects the root path, whilst the intermediate directories do not exist. See http://nginx.org/r/access_log:
: during each log write the existence of the request’s root directory is checked, and if it : does not exist the log is not created
An another unnoticed configuration error is trying to use the special off value as calculated from the access_log variable: such configuration would not work as one could expect, because it will rather log the request at the specified "off" file path (again, wrt the root directory). See http://nginx.org/r/access_log:
: The special value off cancels all access_log directives on the current level.
Note that the "off" is a literal value.
See below:
: The file path can contain variables.
That means that variables is the only property of file paths.
You better try with "access_log if" facility.
