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.

FrontPage Guestbook, Board, Forms spam

Submitted by chris on April 2, 2006 - 22:54.

The main raison for people spamming your FrontPage Guestbook, Forum/Board or forms is that the search engine Google, counts every "back link" (i.e. link pointing to these SPAM sites) as a positive vote. So if they can get a link to their site on your Guestbook, Google will interpret this as an "endorsement" of their site and give then additional "importance".

This spamming activity is especially common nowadays since they are thousands of automated scripts looking for FrontPage (or not, they will try to spam anything really...) guestbooks, boards, or forms to post SPAM links.

Xcache a new PHP accelerator ? (updated version 1.0.2)

Submitted by chris on August 16, 2006 - 11:43. |

It looks like the author of Xcache grew frustrated with the current offering of PHP accelerators and decided to build a simple stable PHP accelerator. For example, eAccelerator works perfectly on multiple servers here but on others it crashes multiple times a day. I'm still investigating this: eAccelerator crash
