<h1>Admin Console General</h1><section class="ls-spacer-small-bottom">Admin Server is a special virtual host dedicated to the WebAdmin console.
It is very important to make sure Admin Server is securely protected either by only allowing
access from the administrator's machines or by using an encrypted SSL connection.</section>

For most modern Unix systems, processes that change user ID or group ID are not allowed to dump a core file for security reasons. However, it is much easier to identify root cause of a problem with a core dump. This option only works on Linux kernel 2.4 and up. Solaris users should use the <span class="cmd">coreadm</span> command to control this feature.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Select from radio box</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Security" class="ls-icon-security"></span> Only enable this when you see <span class="val">no core file created</span> in the server log file. Disable it immediately after producing the core file. Please submit a bug report when a core dump has been created.</p> </article> </div>

When the file size is over the rollover limit, the active log file will be renamed to log_name.mm_dd_yyyy(.sequence) in the same directory and a new active log file will be created.

When this field is specified, the access log will be sent only to the logger application and not the access log file specified in previous entry.<br/><br/> The logger application must be defined in <span class="tagP"><a href="#ExtApp_Help">External Apps</a></span> section first. Server-level access logging can only use an external logger application defined at the server level. Virtual host-level access logging can only use a logger application defined at the virtual host level.<br/><br/> The logger process is spawned in the same way as other external (CGI/FastCGI/LSAPI) processes. This means it will execute as the user ID specified in the virtual host's <span class="tagl"><a href="VirtualHosts_Help.html#setUidMode">External App Set UID Mode</a></span> settings and will never run on behalf of a privileged user. <br/><br/> LiteSpeed web server performs simple load balancing among multiple logger applications if more than one instance of a logger application is configured. LiteSpeed server always attempts to keep the number of logger applications as low as possible. Only when one logger application fails to process access log entries in time will the server attempt to spawn another instance of the logger application. <br/><br/> If a logger crashes, the web server will start another instance but the log data in the stream buffer will be lost. It is possible to lose log data if external loggers cannot keep up with the speed and volume of the log stream.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Select from drop down list</p> </article> </div>
