Hi Drupal folks,

I've a bit of a problem, when I look at my logs on my site (http://peterchen.members.grokthis.net) I've noticed that each of the logs (from watchdog.module) shows an identical IP address for each event, regardless of where they are actually coming from.

This is duplicated in my forms records (each form appears to come from the same address), but is preventing my polls.module working correctly.

I'm using 4.6 on a LAMP config (have a look if this is useful at the config for php - http://peterchen.members.grokthis.net/node/15)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Peter

Thought of comparing with any log analyser like Awstats or Analog? Maybe there's nothing wrong with watchdog, but likely a proxy or related problem.

Or look directly at your Apache logs ... I bet it is proxy-related.

Thanks for this quick feedback, I'll look at this ASAP. If it is a proxy issue, I gues my provider is the person to talk too, right - I've never seen a drupal config for this type of stuff (or am I wrong?)

Regards,

Peter

The log file is showing the Apache is logging the unique hostnames, but watchdog is not. The address it keeps logging is the server the account is hosted on, but the provider says no to a proxy issue - any more ideas?

This thread http://drupal.org/node/20471 discusses a patch for this problem.

I'm now getting more information in the log (e.g "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx from proxy.xxx.etc.") so here is the problem, but its not giving drupal enough to run the poll.module properly.

If anyone's got a work around, i'd be thankful,

Cheers,

P
