Access Logging.

This should produce access_log.<date> files in the 'logs' directory.

The output access log lies has the following fields :

IP Request_Id User Timestamp "HTTP_Method URL Protocol_Version" HTTP_Status_Code ResponseSize_in_Bytes RequestTime_In_Millis Referer User_Agent ASESSIONID

eg :

192.168.3.238 1243466536012x12x1 admin [28/May/2009:09:22:17 +1000] "GET /jira/secure/admin/jira/IndexProgress.jspa?taskId=1 HTTP/1.1" 200 24267 1070 "http://carltondraught.sydney.atlassian.com:8090/jira/secure/admin/jira/IndexAdmin.jspa" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10" "C2C99B632EE0F41E90F8EF7A201F6A78"

NOTES:

The RequestId is a millis_since_epoch plus request number plus number of concurrent users

The Request time is in milliseconds

The ASESSIONID is an hash of the JSESSIONID and hence is safe to publish within logs. A session cannot be reconstructed from it.

It seems a new ajp configuration was required for JIRA 5.1. Setting this:

JkMount /jira/* jira_worker

Solved the problem.

Thanks.

Entered Invalid Credential	>>It give error "Invalid Credential" and return to Login page
Entered valid Credential	>>It validated and redirecting to JIRA but nothing... just loading..loading

Not sure if there is change in the tomcat 7 ot JIRA 5.2.7. or PORT which we are using in the ajp connector tag (8017 or 8443).

[Dattatray Borude]

How to find correct Connector port="????"

[FagnerF]

Hi Doug,

After look your last msg I guess you solved it. However I'd like to share the following:

Into server.xml

#If you want to use AJp Connector you have to uncomment the lines below

<Connector port="8009" redirectPort="8443" enableLookups="false" protocol="AJP/1.3" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>

In addition you can check out the official documentation for JIRA 5.1 + AJP Connector.

Cheers
