Real-time stats for the masses, it’s OSS

I’ve put some effort into Last.fm Real-time Stats this week. The Database is now fully relational. Some more bugs crushed and stuff optimized. I wanted to release it this night, yesterday, the day before yesterday and before that, but all I did was more tweaking. Now I’ve decided that I just packed the last change into the release archive.

So here it is:
Last.fm Real Time Stats 2.0.0

Download it now and generate you own real-time stats. Because, admit, you don’t like waiting until Monday to see what you listened last week! You might need some experience with scripts, this is just the first release, but I’ve put quite some effort into the readme, so I hope you’ll be fine. Server requirements are:

  • PHP 5, 4 might also work, didn’t test it. (let me know if you do!)
  • With GD-PNG and zlib (change the log functions in the bottom of the functions file if you don’t have zlib)
  • MySQL, tested on 5.0.38
  • Cron Tabs (see FAQ)
  • Apache is recommended, because I use .htaccess to secure the /inc/ dir in a case of PHP parser failure.
  • A database management utility, such as PhpMyAdmin simplifies things a lot

If anyone is going to host the script and is willing to host the script for other people as well you can leave a message in the comments.

And why it’s 2.0.0? That’s because this one is fundamentally better than the previous version.
