How can I determine is someone is accessing a page on my web site
running appache 1.3.27 ? There are numerous httpd processes running,
so I'm not sure how to know if the site is in use, or noone is looking
at it just now. I know one can determine what files have been
downloaded, but if someone knows the address of a large PDF for
example, I think I can only tell from access_log once the download is
complete

Please reply to newsgroup.

There should be logs of each request to your server.

Open the conf/httpd.conf file in an editor and search for
server-status. You will find this:

#
# ExtendedStatus controls whether Apache will generate "full" status
# information (ExtendedStatus On) or just basic information (ExtendedStatus
# Off) when the "server-status" handler is called. The default is Off.
#
#ExtendedStatus On

#
# Allow server status reports, with the URL of [url]http://servername/server-status[/ur
l]
# Change the ".your-domain.com" to match your domain to enable.
#
#<Location /server-status>
#    SetHandler server-status
#    Order deny,allow
#    Deny from all
#    Allow from .your-domain.com
#</Location>

Replace .your-domain.com with your own domain, remove the comment
octothorpes, save the file, and restart Apache.

Access http://servername/server-status using a web browser when you
need to see the server status.
