[Mapserver-users] Log user actions

[Steve Lime]

You use the logfile like this:

WEB
  LOG 'mapserver.log'
  ...
END

You should create an empty logfile of the same name with the right
permissions (needs to be writable by the web user, like the temporary
directory). If the filename is relative then it's relative to the
location of the mapfile.

The format is a comma delimited line consisting of:

timestamp
process id
remote address (ip)
map name
mode
extent
mouse click (if available)
requested layers
status (either an error message or "normal execution")

Thanks Steve,

Is there a documentation or sample code that I can refer?
