Hi,
I write a module with Apache Api.
I used ap_log_printf. It write the message to the "error_log" file
of apache.
Which Api should I use (or any setting to use) in order to write the
message to "access_log" file?
appreciate your help ...

O.

You shouldn't be writing directly to the access_log. You can provide
variables which users can choose to include. An easy way to do this is
to put the info in an apache "note", which can log using %{foobar}n in
their logformat.

Alternatively, you can see how mod_logio provides extra fields for the
access log.
