Re: apache's mod_log_sql from ports

Dear List,

I'm trying to install mod_log_sql 1.18 so that Apache will log into
MySQL instead of a flat file, and I thought I had lucked out when I
saw /usr/ports/www/mod_log_sql!

Unfortunately, it's giving some grief. As you can tell from below, I'm
using the apache+mod_ssl and mysql41-server ports, whereas mod_log_sql
seems to prefer plain Apache and MySQL 3.23.

Is there a way to get mod_log_sql integrated with my current setup? Do I
have to edit any of the information in the ports tree entry for
mod_log_sql to reflect these newer versions Apache and MySQL? Finally,
am I better off using the generic compile/install instructions on the
mod_log_sql website?

The way this is supposed to work, you should be able to put:

    WITH_MYSQL_VER=     41
    APACHE_PORT=        www/apache13-modssl

into /etc/make.conf to make the ports do what you want. Most ports depending on Apache or MySQL will respect those.

Unfortunately the www/mod_log_sql port is not configured to play ball. While it will obey the APACHE_PORT setting, unfortunately it is hardwired to use mysql323-client -- which could well be because it doesn't work with any other MySQL version.

Try www/mod_mylo instead.

        Cheers,

        Matthew
