Importing Apache access log to ezview_counter

Friday 04 March 2005 12:35:31 am

I'm trying to set up a list of the most viewed nodes on my site, using view_top_list (http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/data_fetching/content/view_top_list).

I've run the cronjob importing the access_log, the script runs for quite some time, but when it's done there's no entries in table ezview_counter (that I assume stores the stats), and nothing's outputted through view_top_list.

I'm sure the cronjob finds the file (because of the time it takes to run the script through). This is the output:

Running cronjob part 'log'
Running cronjobs/updateviewcount.php
Update content view count ...
Started at 04. mars 2005 09:15:56

Start line:

Finished at 04. mars 2005 09:16:09

View count have been updated!

No errors, but no start line either.

I haven't found any docs on this.. Does the access_log need a specific format for the script to work? Are there other things that might mess this up? Any help or hint is greatly appriciated :)

Thanks for quick reply, and congrats on the system crew status :)

I assume the path is correct, simply because it takes longer to run now then if I enter a obviously wrong path.

There's already a var/log directory. But there's no updateview.log created. Could this mean that php doesn't have write access here? And should that really matter - Should it fail just because it can't write the log?

This is a line from the access log, could there be anything wrong with it? (IP altered for privacy reasons)

Great! :) At least it creates the log now, and skips the parts it has already parsed. But it still doesn't insert anything into DB. Can I enable a debug mode for this script some how?
