limitation of apache logformat on free version

[jackc]

We have a VPS client testing free version of lsws, lsws configuration is loaded from directadmin's apache configurations, he's reporting it seems the logformat directive is not loaded correctly for some reason. example

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O" common
LogFormat "%O %I" bytes

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/photo.com.bytes bytes

instead of bytes format, lsws logged using combined format.
We are using enterprise version of lsws (not the latest) and don't see this problem. is this a limitation of the free version or it's a bug?

except log format, are the whole site working ?

the major limit for standard version running with control panel(e.g. directAdmin)
is
Max Virtual hosts from Apache httpd.conf : 5

yes, the site works. I understand the vhost limitation, but is the logformat being limited as well?

should not --- but I'm not sure.
I'd leave this for our other staff to answer it.

Looks like the logformat is hard coded in free version. changing it doesn't do anything either.

I did more tests, here's the result:

for standard version:
1.lsws native vhost's access log format is customizable

2. if vhost is read from apache's httpd.conf, log format is fixed(bug ? or for performance ?)
you can create 2nd log, but format is "combined", cutomized LogFormat is ignored. the 2nd log file is created there.

3. for enterprise edition, LogFormat from httpd.conf is working as expected.
