Why are my access log entries doubled?

I'm running apache 1.3.31 on FreeBSD 4.10 stable

I've noticed that all of my access log lines have started being
written twice. The begining of the access log file only has single
lines, but sometime after that the log files started showin double
entires.

What's causing that?

You are rewriting the the requests or something else. If you can't
pinpoint when this happens is going to be difficult to find out.

I had the same problem when I first set up apache. In the config file I had
the log format specified twice, once as the default format, and again a few
lines further down as the custom log format. Check that you commented out
the old format when you set up a new one.

I see that in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf I have virtual hosting
turned on (two web sites). In each I have:
TransferLog = mylogfile
CustomLog = mylogfile

I'm new to apache. I set this up a few months ago and forgot about it.
I did upgrade to apache 1.3.32 a few weeks ago. Maybe that's when the
entries started doubling. I'll comment out TransferLog and see what
happens.

thanks,
James
