Re: mod_log_sql Win32 port

Morning all. I'm new to the list so I'll introduce myself. My name is
Mike Wallick, and I'm a web developer in Minneapolis, MN. My skills
include: Apache 1.3.x, Solaris, Win32, ColdFusion, PHP and M$-SQL and a
little MySQL.

Two things:

1.) Chris, I've just recently started using mod_log_sql on my Solaris
clusters and I have to say, it is wonderful! It's so nice to have my
clusters log to one area, rather than having to manage log files across
multiple machines.

2.) I've been toying with a Win32 port, but from the sounds of it,
you've already got that nearly done. If you'd like some help on that,
I'm a bit of a novice C guy, but I have a nearly working win32 port
right now. I just can't seem to get the multithreading to work properly.
So far, multiple requests kill the Apache child processes.

Again, thanks for a great Apache module, and if you want help with the
Win32 port, just ask.

Hello, David.  That is a fair question.  Based on user feedback, Apache2
support and PostgreSQL support are the two most desired features,
followed
by a slew of minor little improvements.  Right now I'm working on the
1.19
release, which lays the groundwork for both of the major improvements
by:

1) Moving to Autoconf
2) Breaking the module into individual .c/.h files

These combined will break the shackles of the one monolithic source file
/
one monolithic Makefile paradigm.  (You probably saw 1.19b1 released on
the discussion list a week ago.)  The module didn't need such complexity
in the beginning -- when it was basically a 'hopped up' mod_log_config
--
but now that the module has grown and expanded to cover so many more
features and platforms...

Another thing that needs to go in place is out-of-the-box support for
Win32 & other architectures.  I have patches for Win32, for example, and
need to put them in.

I anticipate that PostgreSQL support will come before Apache2, since PG
has the edge when it comes to user requests/feedback.  I certainly
cannot
ignore Apache2 any longer, as it is now the default Apache shipped with
major distros like Mandrake and Red Hat.

Do I have an ETA on Apache2?  Not yet.  I'd like to go ahead and get
1.19
out there first.  But certainly, if you would like to participate in the
Apache2 port then I would be most grateful for your expertise.

I've cc'd this to the distro list since its subject matter is relevant
to
a lot of folks.

Regards,
Chris
