This script can be used to split a log file by the hostname in the request. It is designed for use with lighttpd virtual hosting, to prepare the log for Webalizer. It should be run with a cron job and CLI PHP.

$serverip = "127.0.0.1"; //Set to your IP address or default hostname, so requests without hostnames can be sorted 
$log = file_get_contents("/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"); //Log location
$fh = fopen("/var/log/lighttpd/access.log", 'w'); //Clear the log file
fclose($fh);
$lines = explode ("\n", $log);
foreach ($lines as $line){
$parts = explode (" ", $line);
$hostname = strtolower($parts[1]);
if (substr($hostname, 0, 4) == 'www.'){$hostname = substr($hostname, 4);} //Treat www. as the same as the www-less version
if ($hostname == '-'){$hostname = $serverip;} //Set a hostname for request without hostnames
$fh = fopen("/var/log/lighttpd/users/$hostname.access.log", 'a'); //Add the entry to the log for that hostname. Make sure this script can write to this location.

Add 'www' in front of the domain name through .htaccess file.

For example http://yoursite.com will automatically redirect to http://www.yoursite.com

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Apache ant build XML. This will use jikes in place of javac. Any compiler error output is formatted so that vim can parse it.

ant is a modern alternative to make. The build script is an XML file. It works particularly well with java. Download it for free from the Apache ant site. Most people find ant a lot nicer to live with than make.

Replace aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd with your own IP (so you always get to your site).
Replace www.yourdomain.com with your actual domain.

Just don’t mess with the user_agent and query_string lines. Those ensure that the Coral servers themselves can retrieve your page when they need to.
