Reading a file

Works locally, does not on remote

[ukgimp]

I have the following script that opens up a file on apache and later on finds all the referrers. When I do things locally after having saved a copy of the log file as a text file thing work fine. However when I upload and change the script things don work at all. The folder in which the logfiles are stored have read permissions. All I get is blank page. Any ideas?

//$todaylog = "/usr/local/home/httpd/logs/asite/access_log";
$todaylog = "c:/phpdev/www/folder/access_log.txt";

$referers = array();

$fd = fopen("$todaylog","r");

I'm no PHP expert but this works for me:

$log = file("/home/somesite/logs/access_log");

OK at least I am getting an error now with the change you suggest appart from the path change:

Warning: file(/usr/local/home/httpd/logs/mysite/access_log.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mypath/script.php on line 8

I have tried both access_log and access_log.txt

My best guess is the path is wrong:

/usr/local/home/httpd/logs/mysite/

doesn't look like a typical path.

maybe: /usr/local/home/mysite/httpd/logs/

Best to check with the host the actual path to the home directory and the logs directory. But normally the "mysite" directory would be further up the tree.

the mysite bit might be a bit midleading, that is simply a folder name where I store the logs for that particular virtual site. I copied the path from the nav bar in my FTP client.

should I be calling the file itself and is is possible that they are not called .txt in the server?

Solution

File name wrong

Lesson learned, check the filename. access.log not .txt.

Thanks for your help
