I am using Apache/2.2.15 (Unix). On a specific project (using php 5.3) the logs display a request (POST from a complicated form) long time after the request was performed (40-50 minutes).
Sometimes the request times out; sometimes (as the user claims) it goes on normally. But I cannot explain the large time shift between the time of the request being made and the time it is logged.
Do you have any ideas why is this occurring? Have you ever noticed something similar?
Some log lines below:
[12/Oct/2015:11:32:01 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php....
[12/Oct/2015:11:32:04 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php....
[12/Oct/2015:**10:25:00** -0500] "POST /adm/manageCompanies.ph....
[12/Oct/2015:11:32:04 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php....
[12/Oct/2015:11:32:08 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php....
The line with time in bold is the problem - it is logged completely out of sequence...
One more example below:
[13/Oct/2015:08:18:05 -0500] "POST /adm/manageCompanies.php....
[13/Oct/2015:08:18:05 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php ....
[13/Oct/2015:08:22:53 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php ....
[13/Oct/2015:**07:37:37** -0500] "POST /adm/manageCompanies.php....
[13/Oct/2015:08:32:48 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php ....
[13/Oct/2015:08:32:50 -0500] "GET /adm/manageCompanies.php ....
How can I track down the cause for this issue? It is not a matter of logging, but the submitted form times out and causes "damage".
