Re: (ITS#6659) logfile directive not logging any log

[hayashis@indiana.edu]

Hi.

Thank you for your reply!

I am running multiple BDII servers (listening on different port), and
I need them to log to different location. If I understand correctly,
"logfile" directive only works to capture stderr messages (not stats,
or other logs currently sent to syslog). Since I can't tell syslog to
log to a different file based on which instance of LDAP server, logs
from both server goes to a single file in /var/log.

Is there anyway that I can redirect logs from each LDAP server to a
different locations?
