My log files do not list referrers. They are in the form IP Address - - [date - code] "GET url" 200 code
How can I configure the server to record referrer information in the log files? The server is linux with Apache.

This page on the Apache website documents the various log formats and how to use them (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/logs.html).

Also, I believe "Apache for Dummies" has the info (nice book...helped me -train- a host a while back on the same subject - referer info)
:)
I was able to get it to work by adding the line
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""
To the apache httpd.conf file, then doing a restart. Thanks, to all that replied.
Is there any disadvantage to listing referrers? Why would apache default to not including referrer information?
