[apache] logging question

How much detail do you need? Apache logs every request it receives into either log or error, but the level of detail you require depends on what the problem is. I suspect its not apache logging you are thinking off, but something like tcpdump or a similar packet logger that includes the actual HTML payload that you are needing.

You might want to bump up the LogLevel setting. "LogLevel info" seems to be the bare minimum. IIRC LogLevel debug will display EVERYTHING, but then you'll need to watch out for huge log file sizes.

doesn't that only cover the error log? I don't think it'd make any difference to what goes into the access log. You're probably wanting to modify the customlog format if you need to spit out extra info on each request, but if it's actually missing requests that straight-out aren't being logged, then something's broken within apache itself, I'd think. It should hit every request. If it's not.. like Kiint said, you might need to start looking at tcpdumps.
First thing I thought of was netcat and similar.
i thought this was gonna be a thread about native americans and logging

look into nginx news

nginx is almost exclusively used for reverse-proxy.

How detailed do you want it? If you want to log POST data, you can compile mod_dumpio.
mod_dumpio - Apache HTTP Server
Add "DumpIOOutput On" in your httpd.conf.
Make sure the debug log level is on too. You will see a lot more detailed logging in your error log.
Not true, a lot of shops run nginx as their webserver. Very low overhead, very fast.
without seeing your log config, can't really debug the problem. Is it not logging specific types of requests? Apache has support to only log certain requests if you want to do that, which is accomplished using the 'conditional logs' section of this doc:
Log Files - Apache HTTP Server
If all you have is a plain CustomLog or AccessLog directive, it should be logging every request that completes.

to be fair i should also mention LIGHTTPD... which is used by google. though it has a buggy history
but it looks like google has branched and taken over
lighttpd-improved - Improved lighttpd with several useful modules - Google Project Hosting
it may be worth comparing to nginx again

You followed the smell of your own kind to come here, eh?
