Filename of logfiles when using "keep-all-logs 1"

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Sun Jul 17, 2005 7:48 pm

Hi!

When using "keep-all-logs 1", eggdrop saves the logfiles with channelname.log.dateyear (ie: wherever.log.17Jul2005). I dump all the files to a folder publically available on a webserver, but no browser understands what a 17Jul2005-file is and thus order the user to download the file and then open it manually in a texteditor.

Is there a quick way around this, to name it something like: "2005.Jul.17.channel.log"? Or do I have to write a TCL that does the job?

maybee if u kno php make an index.php for the folder there in

make the php file list the names of each file creating a link for each one

when you click the link php takes the text out of the file and prints it on screen

if the webserver is apache, add to .htaccess file for that public directory (or to server's config if you are the admin) this line:

AddType text/plain .log

Solution with .htaccess worked for some files, but not all of them..?!

use this .htaccess instead:

Code: Select all

<Files ~ "^.+\.log.*$">
  ForceType text/plain
</Files>

that will force all files with ".log" anywhere in the name (except at the beginning) to be of text/plain type.

hope this helps

alpha, if you'd like a PHP script like what big jay was suggesting, i can whip one up for you - just PM me on the forums here (this is, after all, an eggdrop forum and not a PHP forum

)

P.S.: demond, i don't think your suggestion worked because the filenames don't end in .log, which is all that AddType checks for.

Still doesn't work, which is strange...

tromso.log.01Jun2003 02-Jun-2003 00:00 737k
tromso.log.01Jun2004 02-Jun-2004 00:00 492k

The top one works, the bottom one doesn't. I thought it was a filesize issue, but the top one is bigger than the latter... This isn't an Apache / html forum so I should probably take this someplace else. Or bother with a php-script.

you know you can change the name using the 'set logfile-suffix' settting in your config.
