LogFormat Directive not honored

[patricklee2]

using 7.3-apache
tried to change the format of the log

in apache2.conf
Added

LogFormat "%t %h \"%r\" %>s %b  \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\" \"%{Disguised-Host}i\"" tuxedoformat'
CustomLog /dev/stderr tuxedoformat

but format was not honored

You want /proc/1/fd/2 instead of /dev/stderr

#811 (comment)
tl;dr: using /dev/stderr redirects to /proc/self/fd/2 which redirects to /dev/pts/0
And docker logs reads from /proc/1/fd/{1,2} (when the container is -d or "detached")

For further help you could ask over at Docker Community Forums, Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow. Since these repositories are for issues with the image and not necessarily for questions of usability

Can't explain why, but it seems to be important to use an own name instead of existing ones (at least in virtual host file).

This

<VirtualHost *:80>
    LogFormat "%v:%p ..." vhost_combined
    CustomLog /proc/self/fd/1 vhost_combined
</VirtualHost>

get's ignored, but

    LogFormat "%v:%p ..." vhost_combined_new
    CustomLog /proc/self/fd/1 vhost_combined_new

works.
