Hi,

I'm using the webalizer for two months now. I'm happy with most iof it's
features. What I'm missing is information about the 404-errors my website
produces. It would be enough to know which URLs could not be found.

Is there anything like it planned? Or is there a simple way to find out
myself?

Best regards
Florian Birkenfeld

Who cares, who cares ? [Crazy for You]

This might sound like an overly newbie/stupid question, but please be
patient with me.

I am using Webalizer on two Websites with great success. I really
like
it!

I want to use it for our squid proxy server here. But I am also
looking for a special feature. I have a few open-source "blacklists",
and I want to use those, to categorize the URLs that have been surfed
to (like: General, Education, Video, Drugs, Porn, etc). Is this
somehow possible. Has anybody ever tackled this problem.

Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

Cheers
Leonard

Hi,

I am consultant that works with a very large company that is
considering using Webalizer for the bulk of its web analysis.  The
tool seems very solid and importantly for us fast, but a few
questions have come up.

1) Is paid support available from any source?

2) The product does not seem to be under active development.  Is that
true?  Are new versions planned?  Is there a roadmap of where it is
going?

3) One need is to log events/users from a portal.  Has anyone done
this?  How hard was it?

Any answers or pointers would be very much appreciated.  Webalizer is
a very nice piece of work and I would love to get a solid performer
into that space.  Being open source is a plus, but as you can see
from 1 & 2 above, it also raises some questions for big companies.

I've set my webalizer.conf file to use "AllReferrer Yes", but instead
of listing "all", it only lists the "Top 10".

My .conf file has:
MangleAgents DEFAULT
AllSites Yes
AllURLs Yes
AllReferrers Yes
AllSearchStr Yes

as well as

TopReferrers 30

I want ALL of the referrers to be included in my Webalizer report
(yes, I KNOW it becomes a large file... but that's what the Client wants).

Please help... thanks!

Hi, newbie post. How u doing.

At the moment I have apache and weblizer configured to produce stats
from a local host every 30 minutes.

The log file for a certain domain was in Common format ("%h %l %u %t
\"%r\" %>s %b") but I would was asked to change this to an extended
format ("%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}
i\"" ) to show more information.

Is there a way i can do this so that the seemlessly without having to
start the stats from afresh?

I suspect that I can do this by configuring the history in webalizer
and rolling the apache log formats, but I am unable to find this in
the programs documentations.

cheers,

Use 'yes' instead of 'Yes'

pardon my asking, but why a lower case "y" in yes?
what happens differently between using a lower case and upper case "y"?

Here is the code:

case 66: all_refs=(value[0]=='y')?1:0;     break; /* All Refs       */

Anything but a 'y' is considered a "no"

The only thing Micro$oft has done for society, is make people
believe that computers are inherently unreliable.

Hi folks... I have a couple clients on a shared-server host that has
webalizer pre-installed. Very nice except that they seem to have some
something odd with the .conf file such that webalizer reports are
showing me all the .gif, .jpg hits in the "top url" listings.

The host helpdesk doesnt seem to know much about webalizer, and cant
even tell me if there is a /etc/webalizer.conf , or for certain where
I should attempt to put one in MY domain area to attempt to tweak the
reports. I dont have root access on the shared host, so I'm kinda
shooting in the dark.

My question to ya'll is: where would the most likely place for me to
put my webalizer.conf where it will get seen?
they have things set so that my reports are generated in
/tmp/webalizer/ in "my" domain area. I tried putting a webalizer.conf
in there with the standard HideURL setting for .gif, .jpg, but it did
not seem to get looked at last night because I still have them in
reports. Also, as far as I know, there is no way for me to force the
webalizer to run at any other time than the once a night cron, so any
changes I make have to wait overnight to see what happens.

Lastly, I am wondering if I have a webalizer.conf somewhere it DOES
finally get looked at, and I have a couple settings set, does
webalizer ALSO read whatever values they may have set in
/etc/webalizer or some system-wide conf file? If so, whose values take
precedence?

Just change the format.. the webalizer will automatically pick up the
additional referrern and user-agent fields.

The only thing Micro$oft has done for society, is make people
believe that computers are inherently unreliable.

First off, there is no requirement for a 'webalizer.conf' file.. actually,
with multiple virtual sites, there should _not_ be a webalizer.conf unless
you really know what you are doing.  Typically, it should be named after
the hostname it is for (ie: mydomain.conf) and called using the -c switch
on the command line.

Secondly, if you have no idea how the webalizer is run or where it's
getting it's configuration information from, and your provider can't
give you that information either, then you are pretty much out of luck.

Finally, if you have shell access, you might be able to run manually
without having to wait for cron.  Please read the documentation that
is provided with the program.  The first paragraph or two defines the
exact order of processing and what gets looked at first, etc..

The only thing Micro$oft has done for society, is make people
believe that computers are inherently unreliable.

I have several domains -- all on the same Linux server -- using Webalizer.

All but one of these domain reports works flawlessly EXCEPT for one
domain. I cannot get any info to update past mid-April. I've deleted
and reinstalled Webalizer for that particular domain, but I'm still
stuck in mid-April. (combined log for this particular domain, as well
as all others, appears to be working fine -- all data is captured... I
just can't get Webalizer to "report" the updated data for one specific
domain).

Please help!

I am a web host (reseller from main host) and I need to be able to supply my
customers with a webalizer that supplies links for them to view ALL url,
referrer, etc. traffic not just the top 30. Also I need to be able to filter
out some other things. With the help of a very kind soul I was able to set
up a "webalizer.conf" file that should fill all my needs. From my
understanding you are supposed to just place that conf file in the root
directory, and the next time webalizer generates data it will use that conf
file instead of the default.

Well, I tried this and it didn't work. I waited over 24 hours, came back to
Cpanel and my Webalizer page was exactly the same. I have searched all over
trying to get some help with this issue but no one seems to have any idea
how to do this. I'm desperate and willing to pay for some tech help to
resolve this problem. Thanks for your help in advance!

I couldn't get any joy from my shared host either, so I just
installed a new copy of webalizer in my directory on the shared
server. Then I created my own conf file that is used solely by my
webalizer copy. The reports are generated every hour by cron since
the host couldn't tell me when they rotated my web log.

I now have a customized webalizer report with exactly what I want. I
also have a second report that is still being generated by the
host...except I don't look at it any more.

Hi Aaron

See my other e-mail I just wrote on this  - cpanel seems to use some
centrally installed webalizer whose configuration cannot be altered
by clients.

I installed my own copy of webalizer in my own directory and set it
up for my own purposes. It works fine. Maybe this solution will work
for you?

David

Yes, I know Webalizer uses a central configuration for cPanel. What I need
to do is be able to install Webalizer on a "per domain" basis, but I don't
know how to install it. Can you help? Thanks for your time!

-Aaron

Can someone explain to me how the number of sites for a given day can
be less than the number of visits?

From my understanding, a site is defined as a unique IP and a visit
as a request for a page within a timeout timeframe. So sites can be
lower than visits if a site requests a non-page, e.g. crawlers
searching for robot.txt. But on some days I get visits that are
drastically lower than sites (as much as half the number of sites).

Can anyone explain this? I'm trying to figure out how many users hit
my site per day. With the visits being so much lower than sites, I'm
not sure if the sites number is a good approximation for the number
of users.

Thanks for your help.

Chuck

It's not.  A single user can generate dozens of visits if they want.

The only thing Micro$oft has done for society, is make people
believe that computers are inherently unreliable.

Another question: do the hits in the referrer table have the same
definition as elsewhere, e.g. a file, image, etc.?

So when the table shows I got 21 hits from a certain referrer, that
doesn't mean 21 clicks on that link but 21 requests for something,
correct?

Is there some way to show the number of visits that came from a
referrer? That's my ultimate goal.

Again, thanks for all the help.

Chuck

21 'hits' from a referrer means that at least 21 requests to your server
were from the referrer, generally indicating that they clicked on a link
somewhere on the referrer site.

For a referrer, the first request has the external referrer information in
the request, and further requests will contain the local site as the
referrer.. so in that case, the 'hits' total shows you how many visitors
were referrered to your site.

But a request does not equal a page, is that correct?

A request can be for any URL on your site..

Hi

How can can I turn DNS Caching on ?
I need it for the Country resolve.

Is there a possibility to do it with Webmin ?

Thanks

Mike

In addition to hits, files, kbytes and visits, I would like to
attribute page views to the hostname. Is there a way to do this? We
are intersted to know how many pages a particular hostname has viewed.

Thanks in advance.
