Halted Project

I lost motivation to work on this for now. The code is here if you want to take a look.

IMPORTANT

The old version is NOT compatible with the new version.

Documentation needs an update!

README

This tool helps me keep track of my subscribers. It analyzes the apache log file and cumulates the subscribers. It includes Google Reader Subscribers, Other Agregators and Direct Subscribers.

I got inspired by Marco Arment because of his Github-Gist https://gist.github.com/3783146 and just improved upon it to count the RSS Subscribers for more than one domain. In addition I added an admin interface for easy accessibility of:

• Max Overall incl. Date
• Max last 7 Days
• Average Overall
• Average 7 Days

Configuration

• copy config.example.php to config.php and add your data (you can use pwGen.php to generate the SHA1 password hash)
• copy example.htaccess to .htaccess to prevent the web to being able to see your log file etc.
• edit the variables in rssScript.bash
• create a crown job to collect the rss data once per day (preferable short after midnight)

I guess you are done now. Hope it works. Please feel free to improve upon this.
