[tor-mirrors] Privacy respecting logging

[Adam Quenneville]

Hi all,

You can surely use mods if need be, but for Apache2, I've found it's 
easiest just to use the CustomLog directive:

CustomLog /path/to/desired/log/location "0.0.0.0 %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"

This just makes every user show up as 0.0.0.0. Which makes it plug and 
play with something like AWstats, or any other log-analysis software.

Simple and fast. Works for us.

Adam
