It's a windoz xp home edition box getting dns via dial-up. > At least I think I'm saying that correctly. I checked your original message again. It says something about some=20 SwamiSalami hostname. Is that by any chance the 'ServerName' of the main=20 server? That is what mod_unique_id is trying to resolve. If no ServerName i= s=20 set, it takes the hostname of the computer. > The apache manual entry for mod_unique_id didn't say a whole lot.

This is used by mod_usertrack to= =20 generate a session id. There are some other modules that also use this feature, but I can't think = of=20 any off-hand. It's also convenient if you use an log-analyzer that checks=20 whether there are duplicate lines. You can log the created id in a separate= =20 field and thus make sure that "the same file requested twice within a secon= d,=20 from the same host, by the same browser" (think "/images/spacer.gif") is=20 something else then "a duplicate logline in the file". In a nutshell: if you don't care about mod_usertrack or wrongly detected=20 duplicate loglines, you have no use for mod_unique_id. Any other apache=20 module requiring it, will complain soon enough, but since you have it runni= ng=20 without - you seem to have no such dependency. =2D-=20 Melvyn =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =46reeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29=20 00:15:33 CET 2003 root@sarevok.webteckies.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --Boundary-02=_Capy/NjleqYFDXG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/ypaCOv9JNmfFN5URAs0XAJ92yd0HNnmpwXc214MbWYtIGGbiYgCgk333 Kb2N5gRFfAG79JlOsL0O/yY= =IYjo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_Capy/NjleqYFDXG--
