Apache not logging referrers

Hello,

I'm using Apache 2.0.46 on WinXP (yeah, I know.) When I go to check the
logs I've noticed that none of the referrering sites are being logged. A
typical entry looks like this:

64.36.xxx.xxx - - [17/Aug/2003:13:21:42 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 49

I've tried referring to my site from a half-dozen others, to ensure it
wasn't something on the server side. Anyone know what I need to do to
get Apache to start logging this info?

Thanks!

Check your log settings in httpd.conf
There should be something like this:


LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
CustomLog logs/access.log combined

This will log not only the referer, but also the type of browser your
visitors use.

That worked. I uncommented the CustomLog line, and its all good now. Thanks!
