Disable multi location access log in ISPConfig setup

This applies to ISPConfig 3.0.5.3 on Debian Wheezy 7.3.

By default, ISPConfig will save access log for each site at /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/<sitename>/access.log, and Apache also saves log for each vhost at /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log. If we have many sites hosted on the same server (of course that’s why we use ISPConfig), we do not want the same access log in 2 different locations which consumes server resources.

We can disable vhost access log of Apache by editing the config file
nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/other-vhosts-access-logthen comment out the line
#CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined Restart apache service apache2 restart
