That sounds logical - it would be unlikely though that Apache would 
present a timed-out error for anything else. If you are getting an 
error message right away it may be more prudent to look into 
whether or not the CGI for is actually getting run. Try submitting the 
form and then looking at the output of PS to see if Analog is 
actually running at all. Or, set the QV paramater to 1 and see if the 
form is passing variables at all. 

There's a lot of trouble-shooting tips in the new documentation too.

That depends on how long it takes Analog to actually run .. on a 
pumped up Sun Enterprise 450, we analyse over 60 million hits in 
just under 12 minutes, so I set our timeout to 20 min to be on the 
safe side. This is an extreme case and I wouldn't recommend it for 
a public webserver. Why not simply cut your log files into smaller 
chunks and see if that helps ?

I have seen no evidence that this is a general probem with Apache 
or Analog - we have a lot of folk at our institution using them both.

This probably means that this problem is not as general as you 
think and is more likely local to your site (worse luck).

RE: [analog-help] analog works great,but anlgform turned my lifemisrable on apache server

2001-05-24 Thread LM

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 ))

2001-05-24 Thread Andrew Bennett

2 cents worth ./.

You know - I had a similar problem. For us, it turned out that 
Apache was timing out the page before analog had finished 
producing the output. By default, Apache times out after 5 minutes. 
Extend the timeout period in the Apache config files and you may 
find things work perfectly.

[analog-help] analog works great, but anlgform turned my life misrable on apacheserver

2001-05-24 Thread LM

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

Louis

well, considering that in Analog 4.13 [no directory] shows up in 
seven or eight .lng files - including usa.lng - Stephen should be 
able to tell us what's there for   ;-)
