Prerequisites
- To use this tool, your web hosting should support Python scripting
(this is more or less standard for Linux based hosting).
- The path to Python
- The path to the Apache log file
- The script filters YOUR requests. To do that, it needs to know
what you, and only you access. Take these pages and add them to
the 'my_pages' list (see below).
Download and setup
Click
here to download the script. Then change the extension to .py
and edit it a bit.
These are the first few lines of the script. They would need customizing:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import string,pickle,os,cgi,time,sys log_fname
= "PUT YOUR PATH HERE"
my_pages = ['/cgi-bin/crawl_demo','ADD
SOME MORE PATHS HERE'] |
Instructions
1. Check the path to Python on your system
and possibly correct the 1st line (/usr/local/bin/python)
2. Check the full path to Apache's log file and definitely correct
line 4 (log_fname = ...)
3. Set the list of pages that only you visit at line 6 (my_pages
= ...). These pages will be excluded from the report, your activity
is not displayed the report.
4. Upload the fixed version to the cgi-bin directory,
set the permission to 755.
5. To use: open a web browser at:
http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/crawl_demo?hist=<number
of entries>?fresh=1
* both the 'hist' and 'fresh' arguments are optional and can be
omitted.
* use the 'hist' argument to determine the number of visitors shown
in the visitor tracking report.
* use the 'fresh' argument to bypass the internal caching of this
script (heavier on your server).
