[analog-help] analog works great, but anlgform turned my life misrable on apacheserver
hi i recently got analog v5.01 installed on my webhost`s Apache 1.3.14 running on Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness) Kernel 2.2.16-22 on an i686. my webhost supports virtually everything.. php,cgi,perl,ssi,etc installing analog and making it work was fairly easy ( took me 4 hours to finish since i had tonnes of things to configure :) ) i can run ./analog from the shell command prompt. and it`ll produce a sweet output file in the exact way that i want it :) the problem is in the anlgform.html and anlgform.pl i can never make them work no matter what. i have analog installed in a directory inside my httpdocs ( webroot ) whenever i try to use the form. i open the page anlgform.html, i choose all my settings, and i click the button to generate the logs. i get an error. this error is one of three. either 500. or ERROR 305 -- The server stopped sending data. or a strange ( cant find server ) like the page you get when either your internet or the server is down. i checked my error logs. and i found only one thing /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/ws/analog: Warning L: Large number of corrupt lines in logfile /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain.com/logs/access_log: try different LOGFORMAT (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) Current logfile format: %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r%wHTTP%j" %c %b "%f" "%B"\n %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r" %c %b "%f" "%B"\n %S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%r" %c %b "%f" "%B"\n thats it and btw. analog is running fine despite this error message ( this error message is showing up because my logs used to be in CLF format, and i changed it to combined format without deleting the old logs ). so now i set my config files to process the logs starting from the day the logs got combined, and the results are just great. so why isnt anlgform.pl working? i have everything set,. and as i said, i tried putting the anlgform files inside the wwwroot , and inside the cgi-bin with all the permissions set, but no luck now back to the shell i tried typing: ./anlgform.pl and i got (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input) i also tried ./anlgform.pl qv=1 LOGFILE=~/logs/access_log REQINCLUDE=pages i got the following response Content-Type: text/plain CGI ON DNS NONE WARNINGS FL LOGFILE /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain.com/logs/access_log REQINCLUDE pages OUTFILE stdout hmmm,, what else did i try.. yeah, i tried this command ( dont ask me why.. i simply didnt know what to try :) ./anlgform.pl - and poof. i got some html source dumped on my screen so i did ./anlgform.pl - >dump.htm and i viewed it in my browser, and that was a report similar to the outfile produced by analog. i seriously dont know what else shall i try. am i doing something wrong? where am i supposed to have analog installed? ( i have it in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/ws/ ) which is www.mydomain.com/ws i tried making the anlgform to work in the same directory as analog but it failed. i tried to move the anlgform.pl to my cgi-bin directory. and the same thing happened and yes. just as i am typing this email. i tried changing the logs so analog would use the logfile.log ( sample log gotten with the script ). and still the same problem can you please help me out? thanks in advance Regards Louis + | This is the analog-help mailing list.

RE: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned my lifemisrable on apache server
but.. :( the server isnt mine!!. anyhow. what i was thinking of is the following: if apache is timing out as you said, then i would get the error after 5 minutes, not right on when i click the page. am i right? and lets assume i manage to convince my webhost to increase the timeout, which i can bet safely they wont do.. what timeout should the set? and dont you guys think that something has to be done about this? i mean. if all the people with apache servers are facing this problem then it is a real big problem! (( wierd thing is that i searched through the lists. and i barely found one complaint like this one )) Regards Louis > -Original Message- > From: Andrew Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 4:56 AM > To: LM; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned my > life misrable on apache server > > > 2 cents worth ./. > > You know - I had a similar problem.

RE: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned mylifemisrable on apache server
do you think that it might be having something to do with the location of all the files? i told you that currently i have them all in subdirectory located the same directory along with all my other html documents ( so its not cgi-bin ) Regards LM > -Original Message- > From: Andrew Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 5:27 AM > To: LM; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned my > lifemisrable on apache server > > > T > > > > the server isnt mine!!. > > Tried moving the log files onto a different box for analysis ? > > > if apache is timing out as you said, then i would get the error after > > 5 minutes, not right on when i click the page. am i right? > > That sounds logical - it would be unlikely though that Apache would > present a timed-out error for anything else.
