Create log file using htaccess

Question

I am trying to create a log file by using a .htaccess script. I have a image directory in which I want to place the .htaccess file which will write all file names which is accessed from this image folder.

I now need to create a log inside image folder.

I tried with RewriteLog but it's not working for me. I am using Apache version 2.4.

I'm not sure this is possible with just htaccess alone. You will need some form of server-sided language to handle this (something like php). — Lewis Browne

After going through Apache documentation for log creation, I found that Apache not allowed to write code for log creation in .htaccess file. We need to write code in httpd.conf file.

My code to write log file for all images in httpd.conf file is:

SetEnvIf Request_URI "(\.gif|\.png|\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.JPEG|\.JPG|\.PNG|\.GIF|\.JFIF|\.TIFF|\.BMP)$" image-request=log
CustomLog logs/unwanted-requests.log common env=image-request
