[clo-devel] Putting statistics back into service.

Hello common-lisp.net admins, I would like to propose my services to put back into service the download statistics that used to be available on the "stats" page before the machine upgrade. The currently available files date back to May 7, about 7 weeks ago. I already have an account on common-lisp.net for my MKCL and CL+J projects. My user name is: jcbeaudoin So I guess that a simple change in its group memberships is all that is needed to give me the required access to do the work (ie: modify the cron script and maybe read the content of /var/log/apache2). Cheers, Jean-Claude Beaudoin

Jean-Claude, thank you for your offer to help. What files do you need access to? I do not know how the statistics worked, but I guess that some of the mechanism is stored in /custom/bin - Can you check and let us know what you need to change? Thanks again!

All I need for http stats is, as I stated in my original message, to be able to modify the cron scripts /etc/cron.d/cl-net plus /custom/bin/ cron.root.http_stats.sh and most probably be able to read the content of /var/log/apache2. What is needed, I think, is to apply the following two tiny patches: $ diff /etc/cron.d/cl-net ~/cl-net 10c10 < # 12 00 * * * root /custom/bin/cron.root.http_stats.sh ---
12 00 * * * root /custom/bin/cron.root.http_stats.sh $ diff /custom/bin/cron.root.http_stats.sh ~/cron.root.http_stats.sh 8c8 < LOG_FILE=/var/log/apache/access.log
LOG_FILE=/var/log/apache2/access.log
I'll have to investigate more for the rsync stats... Cheers, Jean-Claude Beaudoin 2011/6/28 Hans Hübner <hans.huebner@gmail.com>

Jean-Claude, you now have access to the files that you've requested by the way of ownership. Let us know if you need anything else. -Hans On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 10:17 PM, Jean-Claude Beaudoin <jcb.lisp@gmail.com> wrote:

Done. There seems to be some version control of those scripts through RCS but I didn't try anything on that side since I am pretty sure I don't have the permissions for the directories and files it uses. I bet you'll have to do that RCS thing from an admin account. http and rsync stats should work again now. As far as ftp stats go I have no clue, sorry.

Thanks for taking care. Someone else will probably check the stuff in. If you like to volunteer for doing some more admin work, we can also arrange for that and give you sudo access. Let us know! -Hans On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 10:47 PM, Jean-Claude Beaudoin <jcb.lisp@gmail.com> wrote:

Sure, sign me up. I should be able to chip in once in a while. Cheers, Jean-Claude

Hello Hans, The /etc/cron.d/cl-net script did not run last night as it should have. I think in fact that it is prevented from running ever since I was made the owner of the file yesterday and that would be a security features of cron. I guess that all you have to do is to revert the ownership of /etc/cron.d/cl-net back to root and all should run smoothly again.

Hello Jean-Claude, I have made you a member of the "admin" group so you can use sudo. Can you fix the problem yourself? That'd be most appreciated! Thanks! Hans On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 5:57 PM, Jean-Claude Beaudoin <jcb.lisp@gmail.com> wrote:
