is there an app for seeing who is where on server?

[bongmaster]

i was wondering if there was an app for monitoring in detail who was accessing your webserver, and what they were lookin at (page, image, forum, ect..)

its wasy to see who is on a BBS by the admin panel.. but not your website because it hasnt got that function..

i just want something like TOP that monitors the web traffic from my server.

As most web server connections are temporary(for the duration of the data transfer of a web page or pages,) log analysis is the most common way to see most of what you are referring to. I like AWStats(http://awstats.sourceforge.net/.) I haven't tried it with Puppy yet though.

if you are talking about Puppy's built in ghttp, you can set

SERVER_LOGLEVEL = "2"

in httpd.cfg, then run something like this to see what is logged to the acess.log file:

tail -f -s 10 /root/ghttpd/access.log

Or are you refering to security scanning?
You didn't say what kind of "people" you're looking for.
I assumed you ment allowed clients also.

i was mainly wanting to see what was being acessed..

i have found that xampp has webaizer.. usefull for load monitoring..

but im after something realtime and file specific..

Eg:..

ip file date time
0.0.0.0. index.php 28.07.06 23:45

as an example, a bit like how top works

So you should change your Subject to: Need server access file logging.

I've wanted file logging for a different purpose, to see what files Linux accesses frequently.
Then put those files in a ramdisk to speed the PC up.

I've never found quite what I'm looking for, if you do let me know & same for me.

Maybe one of the gurus here will point out how to setup a file access daemon that writes logs.
As you & I would like, it'd be nice if the logging could be confined to a dir. or filesystem.

bongmaster; All you have to do is click the [edit] button in the upper right corner of the post you want to change.
In this case it would be the very first one at the top of the list of posts.
You can change only the ones that you make, I can't change yours.
Just rewrite the Subject line to what you want.
