i run free hosting server, where people among other stuff has access to stats. in /var/www/userstats there are like 60 000 subdirs, (1 for every account), and in each of these subdirs, there are stats for my users i think it is huge waste of resouces, the same .css files and other stuff is copied over and over again to every subdir for every user one smart script in php or something + database would be much more efficient way to store stats data, than these .html .css and .png files (png are taking the most space) so the idea is to create such a perl/python/php script, and also, to somehow connect it to awffull program (it's like webalizer, it analyzes raw stats), so it will not output png+html, but will just output these values. if it HAS to output html, then just filter needed data and not even write it to disk awffull has a lot of options so maybe its possible to output it to another format (like text), which then will be converted to mysql or maybe even this format will be better than what it is now. or maybe there are already made awffull+mysql solutions, i couldnt find one. anyways, the job is to make it much faster, with data stored in database, not in more than 70 000 dirs in very similar files being copied over and over again.
