==Description==
  −
Surftrackr is a log file viewer for Squid and Dan's Guardian. It makes it easy for you to monitor Web usage, including the type of information accessed, the sites visited by your web users, and the amount of information downloaded. Best of all, Surftrackr is free  and runs in any web browser.

  −
This is an alternative for [[Sarg]].

  −
This contribution is not a traditional adaptation, so you should know exactly what you are doing.
  −
 
  −
The sticking points are:
  −
 
  −
Surftracker is based on the Django framework, that despite the fact that it works correctly under python 2.3 (which come with SME 7.x), but do not get this right Surftrackr. Therefore it is necessary to upgrade to Python 2.4. But all precautions were taken so that this does not affect the natural python settings of SME 7.x
  −
 
  −
Another important point is the use of mod_python. If you already use mod_python for another application, you must leave here this installation. mod_python is compiled under python 2.3, and our customized version is compiled under python 2.4, so an error will occur.
  −
 
  −
You have two choices:
  −
*Uninstall your mod_python and install this customized version (be careful when using Trac or another application that makes use of mod_python).
  −
*Use [[Mod_FastCGI]] with Django instead of mod_python as described here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi}}
  −
 
  −
== Installation ==
  −
Before install rpms, you must create a new ibay named '''surftrackr'''.
  −
Then run the following commands:
  −
db accounts setprop surftrackr AllowOverride all
  −
db accounts setprop surftrackr FollowSymLinks enabled
  −
signal-event ibay-modify surftrackr
  −
{{Note box|Currently I have no time to test apache rewrite rules for install under /opt directory, because Surftrackr require a FQDN main domain. See the entire Surftrackr site and blog because have a lot of info about this. May be you can write the rewrite rules and we can install under /opt dir without a FQDN. I think it is posible if you have the know how with python code because I am a very very newbie with python. If you can do this, share with us}}
  −
Create the database '''logs'''.
  −
 
  −
mysqladmin create logs --default-character-set=utf8
  −
mysql
  −
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `logs` . * TO 'logsu'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'logsp' WITH GRANT OPTION ;
  −
quit
  −
 
  −
First download and install python 2.4 (skip this step if you have already Pootle or python 2.4 in your system):
  −
 
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/pootle/python2.4/rpms/alternatives-0.2.0rc3-9.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/pootle/python2.4/rpms/python24-2.4.2-10.el4.pyv.i386.rpm
  −
 
  −
yum localinstall *.rpm
  −
 
  −
Then run:
  −
/usr/sbin/alternatives-helper --remove python24
  −
mv /usr/bin/python.alternatives_save /usr/bin/python
  −
mv /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz.alternatives_save /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
  −
 
  −
Now download the following rpms into another clean directory:
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/Django-0.97_pre-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/mod_python-3.1.3-5.1.custom.i386.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/MySQL-python-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/pygooglechart-0.2.2-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/pyparsing-1.5.1-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/python-dateutil-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/setuptools-0.6c9-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nhall/sme7/contribs/surftrackr/rpms/surftrackr-20080326-1.noarch.rpm
  −
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/smecontribs/i386/RPMS/smeserver-mod_python-0.1-1.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
  −
 
  −
Install:
  −
yum localinstall *.rpm
  −
 
  −
Create a new domain:
  −
In SME > Configuration > Domains 'Add Domain' surftrackr.yourdomain.com pointing to the '''surftrackr''' ibay.
  −
 
  −
 
  −
Into surftrackr html directory open the file '''settings.py''' and edit the following variables:
  −
 
  −
*LOG_FILE - If you have danguardian, change to /var/log/dansguardian/access.log and set DG logfileformat = 3 (squid format)
  −
*DISABLE_AUTH  -  Look at http://surftrackr.net/blog/view/28/multi-user-surftrackr/ but leave as False
  −
*LIVE_LOGGING and DATA_FROM_LOG  -  Look as Surftracker site, but leave as True and False respectivelly
  −
*TIME_ZONE  -  It is important because set the local time to reports
  −
*MEDIA_URL  -  Modify this line to your IP or FQDN
  −
*SECRET_KEY  -  Change this key.  DO NOT CHANGE THE LONGITUDE
  −
 
  −
Open the file .htaccess and comment '''require valid user''' and uncomment '''require user admin''' to allow only admin access.
  −
 
  −
== Usage ==
  −
You can use to LIVE logs or to proccess existing logs. The default allow to live logs in real time!
  −
 
  −
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/surftrackr/html/utils
  −
python2.4 surftrackr-livelog.py
  −
 
  −
Then go at your IP or FQDN with a browser and go to LIVE page and click at '''GO''' to see what happens.
  −
 
  −
If you want to proccess existing logs change LIVE_LOGGING to False and DATA_FROM_LOG to True
  −
 
  −
Then run
  −
 
  −
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/surftrackr/html/media
  −
python2.4 logfiles.py
  −
 
  −
You can set a cron job to do this at 5 or 10 minutes interval. The first time run this manually because Surftrackr will process a lot of old logs info.
  −
 
  −
It is VERY IMPORTANT to run the above script with python2.4 and NOT with python. Also it is very important to change directory to the script before runing. Do NOT run as python2.4 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/surftrackr/html/media/logfiles.py. Change to dir before run.
  −
 
  −
As [http://surftrackr.net/blog/view/28/multi-user-surftrackr/ this doc say], every user logged at Surftrackr is created at Django DB. So read all ST documents and blog to know all the features. Because this is not fully documented, I advice you to read all blog post entries from the first to last and download the PDF docs.
  −
 
  −
== Uninstall ==
  −
 
  −
yum remove Django mod_python MySQL-python pygooglechart pyparsing python-dateutil setuptools surftrackr smeserver-mod_python
  −
 
  −
Remove the '''surftrackr''' ibay and the database '''logs''' and user '''logsu'''.
  −
 
  −
 
  −
== Conclusion ==
  −
This requiere a little effort to make this contrib easy for install, like creating the database and ibays automatically, also for remove. If you have time to do it, download the source srpms from my home directory (nhall) and  send me the new ones.
  −
 
  −
This contribs is not at smecontribs repository because as the top page advice say (Skill level: Advanced), it is only for advanced users and not follow the standard SME procedure to install contribs.
