Requirements Here are the requirements to run Access Log Viewer:
To Top Please read the Perl Services Licensing Agreement By downloading, purchasing, acquiring and/or implementing any PerlServices software, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the distribution policy. To Top What log format will it read? This script is written to read a standard distribution access log format and combined access/referer log format on an Apache web server. The two formats this script will parse are:
If your access log is in a different format than one of the two above, we can modify the script to read your access logs format. The fee for this modification is US$40. Please contact our Support Department to arrange the modification and payment. If you feel like tempting fate, however, you can modify the format yourself below line 430. Just modify the Regexp to match the pattern of your access log. Such modifications are permitted so long as that modification exists ONLY on the server for which it was modified. To Top How to install the program You need to do two things to install this program.
To Top How to exclude your own domain from the referer report. The "Analyze" function can create a very LARGE page and take a long time to download. You can decrease the size of the page and increase the speed of the download by excluding your own domain from the referer reporting (if your access log is using a combined log format). To do this, in the script around line #52 you will see the variable: $exclude_referers All you need to do is set the domain in this variable you want excluded. You can set more than one domain. For example, on the Perl Services Access Log, we exclude both www.perlservices.net and perlservices.net. This is done like this: my $exclude_referers = qq~ http://perlservices.net http://www.perlservices.net ~; To Top What if I can't get the path to the access log? Some server administrators will not turn on the access logging on the web server unless you pay for it. Additionally, some will not allow you to have direct access to the access log. There is nothing you can do in these circumstances. However, you can first have poke around your web space on the server. Look for a directory named "logs" or similar and see if there is a file in there called "access_log". That is the standard name for an access log on an Apache server. You just may find it on your own. I don't recommend you go outside of your own name space. That's just wrong. To Top Support Information If you are unable to set-up this program or are uncomfortable setting up the program then please contact our support department via the Support Centre Page We offer an installation service for a fee, details of which are available at the Support Center. Note that due to the unpredictable nature of NT and Mac servers, we do not offer support or installation services for programs being installed on these types of servers. This program was written for a UNIX server.
