LogToMysql contains two simple programs for
logging from an Apache web server to a MySQL
database using the piped logs mechanism. It can be
used on either a single server running both Apache
and MySQL, or with separate machines. If separate
machines are used, several servers can log
accesses and errors to a single database. The
code may be used with both Apache versions 1 and
2, and other servers capable of piped logging. It
is designed for "common" or "combined" access log
formats. No changes are required to a standard
server installation; these are stand alone
programs, not server modules. On an Athlon 1800
machine running both the Apache server and MySQL,
it was possible to sustain logging of over 200
hits per second without problems.
