Hello,

I am trying to write a reward system wherein users will be given reward points if they download complete files, So what should be my log format.

After searching alot this is what I understand its my first time and havent done custom logs before.

First of all which file should I edit for custom logs because this thing I cant find. I am using ubuntu server with default apache, php5 and mysql installation

# I use this commands and they work fine  
nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I think this is what I need to do for my purpose

LogLevel notice
LogFormat "%f %u %x %o" rewards
CustomLog /var/www/logs/rewards_log rewards

This is as it is command or there is something missing? and is there any particular location where I need to add this?

and one more thing %o is for filesize that was sent and is it possible to log only files from a particular directory? or for files with size more than 10mb.

Thank You.
