apache logging - show more information
is it possible to make apache log each user activity in its log file "access_log"

i have a web application here that uses apache. in the apache log files, i see that it shows when requests are made to certain pages in my web application. but it doesn't show the user name of the person making those requests.

is there anything i can add to the httpd.conf file that will show the user name? and will also show ALL requests made by any user in the web app?

thanks

Only your webapp has any idea who's got what username. It's all just pages and IP's to apache.

You could print messages to standard error in your web app, and they ought to appear in the log file.
