Raw Access Logs Clarification

[section31]

A few questions regarding the apache raw access logs.

 

Whats the easiest way to access them via a php script or something. I know you can have them archive onto your logs directory after every month, but what about the current log. I can only find 2 places where I can access them.

 

1. Under http://****:2082/getaccesslog/acce...in-4-19-2005.gz password protected by cpanel. ( So I'm guessing it could be possible If i were to manually send post request varirables [username and password] )

2. The other place is via ftp. Under the username username_logs.

 

So are these the only two places I can access them, and do they always accumulate by month. I figure this is just the way you have them setup. By month rather than by day right?

 

Thanks,

Dave

 

EDIT: By the way, I have 2 accounts and I can't seem to access one through ftp. I'm probably going to submit a help desk ticket to see whats up with that. I'm almost certain it has to do with the my domain name change around a year ago.

Sorry Dave, I only know how to access the logs through cPanel. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

Check this one:

 

 

I believe it's in this location here:

/usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com

 

Remember to replace domain.com with the name of your domain. And if your TLD is info, then it would be domain.info

 

Good luck!

Nope, I couldn't find it in there.

You won't be able to access the logs there except through a script. Cron works well.

I know this is what I did.

><?
$file = '/usr/local/apache/domlogs/mydomain';
header('Content-type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');

readfile($file);
?>

did you use /your_tch_domain or /your_tch_domain.com ?

 

It does need the correct TLD as an 'extension'.

 

If that does not work, submit a ticket to the help desk, and ask us to provide a symbolic link (alias) to that file within your account for you.

[section31]

Yeah I did add the tld. I'll go ahead and submit that help desk ticket in a while, but do you happen know if the log is for current month only or is there a place to access daily logs too...Just curious.

[annie]

Logs grow monthly. If you want daily logs, then use my scripts, run it via cron and download the day after.

[section31]

Yup, your script looks like it will work nicely. Thanks

Just got this settled through the help desk. I have no idea why you guys have access to your domlogs and I don't. The tech had to change the path of the domlogs to my home directory for me to access it. Oh well, its all good now.
