Access to apache without log entry?
|

| Hi!
On my firewall log I can see an access from a remote computer to my
webserver (port 80, hence the apache). But neither in the access_log
nor in the error_log are entries for this particular IP address.
Other accesses are logged properly, but not from this IP.
How is that possible? May it be, that apache drops the requests without
notice because they are invalid?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe you have a directive to not log requests from that IP. Or there
was a connection but no request, hence nothing got logged because
there was nothing to log.

You should have something in the error log in that case.

I think there is nothing to log. Firewall will show even partial tcp
connection, apache won't log these.
you might want to give tcpdump a try in order to display what's going on.
Try something like this (as root)
tcpdump -i <en0> -Avvs 250 src or dst <ipaddress>
replace <en0> by your network interface and <ipaddress> by the remote
IP, and wait for this IP to connect.
