IIS Optimizing logging for Awstats & reduce logs size by over 50%!

Submitted by chris on January 31, 2006 - 00:17. |

High traffic sites can easily get daily logs over 100MB. It can be very beneficial to log only the information we actually use. We will require the minimum logging for decent Awstats reports. We will copy the recommended Apache LogFormat:
"%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %V"

For more details on the meaning of these values see: Apache Preferred Awstats Custom Log Formats.

eAccelerator

Submitted by chris on January 15, 2006 - 17:29. |

We have been using this PHP accelerator (0.9.X), on multiple servers, for a long time. It's used on some high traffic sites without any problem.

Install:
a) Download a copy of eAccelerator that is compatible with your version of PHP.
This can be an issue with eAccelerator. Sometimes it can take a little time before the Windows binaries are available for the most recent version of PHP.

Apache Rotatelogs.exe for Windows Server

Submitted by chris on January 27, 2006 - 12:14. |
When using the Apache tool, rotatelogs.exe, you can see (using the task manager) multiple instances of rotatelogs.exe. Even when using it on just 1 web site!
To make this issue even more disastrous when restarting the Apache (httpd.exe), not all instances of rotatelog.exe are released.
Doing some research on the web it looks like this issue has been going on since years (Apache 1.3, 2.0 and now 2.2....).
Note: I've verified this issue with both Apache 2.0.55 and 2.2.0
