HOW TO get Apache to log to PostgreSQL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: contain of files 'httpconf.txt' and 'apachelog.sql' are below this text. First, this is intended mostly as a starting point, an example of how to do it. The file 'httpconf.txt' is commented and contains two example lines to make this work, a custom log format, and a line that sends the log data to psql. I think that the comments in this file should be sufficient. The file 'apachelog.sql' is a little SQL to create the table and grant permissions to it. You must: 1. Already have 'nobody' (or what ever your web server runs as) as a valid PostgreSQL user. 2. Create the database to hold the log, (example 'createdb www_log') 3. Edit the file 'apachelog.sql' and change the name of the table to what ever you used in step 2. ALSO if need be, change the name 'nobody' in the grant statement. 4. As an appropriate user (postgres is ok), do 'psql www_log < apachelog.sql'. This should have created the table and granted access to it. 5. SAVE A COPY OF YOUR httpd.conf !!! 6. Edit httpd.conf, add the two lines in the example file as appropriate, IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY APPEAR. This is simple for a single server, but a little more complex for virtual hosts, but if you set up virtual hosts, then you should know were to put these lines. 7. Down and restart your httpd. I do it on Red Hat 4.1 like this: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init stop then /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init start OR I understand you can send it a signal 16 like 'kill -16 <pid>' and do it. 8. I should be working, query the web server about 30 or more times then look in the db and see what you have, if nothing then query the web server 30 or 50 more time and then check. If still nothing, look in the server's error log to see what is going on. But you should have data. NOTES: The log data is cached some where, and so will not appear INSTANTLY in the database! I found that it took around 30 queries of the web server, then many rows are written to the db at once. ALSO, I leave it up to you to create any indexes on the table that you want. The error log can (*I think*) also be sent to PostgreSQL in the same fashion. At some point in the future, I will be writing some PHP to interface to this and generate statistical type reports, so check my site once and a while if you are interested it this.
