[Mod_log_sql] mod_log_sql help confgiuring on debian etch

Sat Oct 27 14:38:14 EDT 2007

Here is what I have on httpd.conf now where apachelog is the user, password
is the password and apachelogs in the database.  I have flushed the db and
turned on LogSQLCreateTables.  When I reload the config my browser simply
sits on connecting when I point it at my domain.

LogSQLLoginInfo mysql://apachelog:password@localhost/apachelogs

LogSQLSocketFile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

LogSQLCreateTables On

LogSQLMassVirtualHosting Off

LogSQLMachineID kernel

LogSQLPreserveFile /var/tmp/sql-preserve

I have the following parameters in my vhost file
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

        LogSQLTransferLogTable access_mp3crib.com

        LogSQLScoreDomain mp3crib.com

For the LogSQLPreserveFile I ran this command mysql - root -p mydbname <
/var/tmp/sql-preserve to ensure it is in a writable directory and the file
is writable.  Not exactly sure if the parameters in the vhost file are
correct.  My web server still functions properly if I comment out the
LogSQLLoginInfo and LogSQLPreserveFile params in httpd.conf file and yes I
did verify the password is correct for the mysql user.  I was hoping this
was going to be easy, but I should've known otherwise when I turned to Sid
for the package.

Hi

It took me awhile to get it running on Etch.

You need to have log_sql and log_sql_mysql loaded. I created a user to

access my db with create rights so the tables would be created. This

seems to work better then creating the tables yourself. At least the

fields will be correct you can turn off LogSQLCreateTables later. You

also need to make sure you have mod_log_sql-preserve in a writable

directory. Check there for errors.

Your http.conf is blank be default. I added:

LogSQLLoginInfo mysql://loguser:username@localhost/apachelogs

LogSQLDBParam socketfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

LogSQLCreateTables On

LogSQLMassVirtualHosting Off

LogSQLMachineID web

In vhost setup I used:

      LogSQLTransferLogTable access_vhost_name_com

      LogSQLScoreDomain vhost_name.com

Good luck :)
