Simply unzip the package anywhere on your web server. You need to have PHP installed for the application to work.
Firelog is very simple remote XUL application that can be use to
view large text files on the server. To use it, type the location
of the PHP file filelogxul.php into your browser (for example
http://www.yourserver/firelog/firelogxul.php
.)
Once the XUL has been loaded, type the file path into the the the input box at the top and then press enter.
You can also specify the filename and the starting position on the URL itself.
For example, to tell the viewer to load a 5000 bytes chunk of the
file /Apache/htdocs/xul/akenid.log starting at offset 1024 use the syntax
firelogxul.php?chunk=1024/5000&path=/Apache/htdocs/xul/akenid.log
.
Please note that the system does not have any password protection. You can restrict the IP address that is allowed to connect to the back end by editing the line if ($remoteAddress !== "x.x.x.x")... in firelog.php
