XULTech Firelog User's Guide

Installation

Simply unzip the package anywhere on your web server. You need to have PHP installed for the application to work.

Usage

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.

Query String

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.

Security

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
