When this field is specified, the access log will be sent only to the logger application and not the access log file specified in previous entry.<br/><br/> The logger application must be defined in <span class="tagP"><a href="#ExtApp_Help">External Apps</a></span> section first. Server-level access logging can only use an external logger application defined at the server level. Virtual host-level access logging can only use a logger application defined at the virtual host level.<br/><br/> The logger process is spawned in the same way as other external (CGI/FastCGI/LSAPI) processes. This means it will execute as the user ID specified in the virtual host's <span class="tagl"><a href="VirtualHosts_Help.html#setUidMode">External App Set UID Mode</a></span> settings and will never run on behalf of a privileged user. <br/><br/> LiteSpeed web server performs simple load balancing among multiple logger applications if more than one instance of a logger application is configured. LiteSpeed server always attempts to keep the number of logger applications as low as possible. Only when one logger application fails to process access log entries in time will the server attempt to spawn another instance of the logger application. <br/><br/> If a logger crashes, the web server will start another instance but the log data in the stream buffer will be lost. It is possible to lose log data if external loggers cannot keep up with the speed and volume of the log stream.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Select from drop down list</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="accessLog_logFormat"><h3>Log Format<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#accessLog_logFormat"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p><span class="tag">Enterprise Edition Only</span> Specifies the log format for the access log.

Error codes are defined in the HTTP protocol (see RFC 2616). LiteSpeed web server has a built-in default error page for each error code, but a customized page can be configured for each error code as well.

The server will forward the request to this URL when the corresponding HTTP status code has returned. If this URL refers to a non-existing resource, the built-in error page will be used. The URL can be a static file, a dynamically generated page, or a page on another web site (a URL starting with "http(s)://").

Suffixes must be unique.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Comma delimited list with period "." character prohibited.</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Information" class="ls-icon-info"></span> The server will automatically add a special MIME type ("application/x-httpd-[suffix]") for the first suffix in the list. For example, MIME type "application/x-httpd-php53" will be added for suffix "php53". Suffixes after the first need to set up in the <span class="tagl"><a href="#mime">MIME Settings</a></span> settings.<br/> Though we list suffixes in this field, the script handlers use MIME types, not suffixes, to decide which scripts to handle. You can thus use the Apache configuration directives "AddType" and "ForceType" (which control file MIME types) in .htaccess files to change which script handler certain files will use. For example, with the directive <span class="cmd"> AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php</span> in a properly placed .htaccess file, you can stipulate that php files in this directory have the MIME type "application/x-httpd-php53" and thus will be handled by the script handler that uses MIME type "application/x-httpd-php53" (suffix "php53"). This then allows you to assign different script handlers, not only for different file suffixes, but also based on the locations of files.<br/> <span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span><span title="Security" class="ls-icon-security"></span> Only specify the suffixes you really need.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="shType"><h3>Handler Type<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#shType"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the type of external application that processes these script files.

Traffic to this URI will only be forwarded to the WebSocket backend when it contains a WebSocket upgrade request. <br/><br/> Traffic without this upgrade request will automatically be forwarded to the Context that this URI belongs to.

You can send WebSocket traffic to the WebSocket backend, while setting up a static context so that LSWS can serve the page's static content, or an LSAPI context so LSWS will serve PHP content (both of which LSWS does more efficiently than the WebSocket backend).</div></article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="wsaddr"><h3>Address<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#wsaddr"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>A unique socket address used by the WebSocket backend.
