[UCIMC-Tech] web logs have wrong IP's, less info

[Barry Isralewitz]

Hi,

		Some more recent info on this...

    On "wrong IP's":
	All entries in the access log for thebikeproject.org still show up as  
127.0.0.1.  Thus we can't get web usage stats, tell web crawlers apart  
from humans, do certain tests, etc.

     On "less info"
	Can an admin make a config file edit for me? I think that fixing my  
"less info in logs" problem just requires an edit of
line 8 of
/usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/thebikeproject.org.conf

common -> combined

...but I don't have edit access.  (And I'm not _positive_ this is the  
currently active config file).

	Cheers,

	Barry
