I have a Django project where I have been logging to a file using the standard library logging module. For a variety of reasons I would like to change it so that it writes to the Apache log files. I've seen quite a bit of discussion of how to do this with mod_python, but not mod_wsgi. How do I do this for a project running under mod_wsgi?

Mostly, we use logging and write to sys.stderr. That seems to write to the Apache error_log.

  • Thanks. That seems to be the way to do it. The comments on this post http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1731/ say the same thing. – David Montgomery Oct 01 '10 at 16:58
  • As simple as that. Great!! – jeromej Sep 29 '13 at 12:57
