Configuring/using webalyzer - xDamox - 2005-11-13


Hi,

 

Yea I noticed the damn Ads :( they keep bombarding me :( anyways I wanted to post about webalizer!

 

ok here goes...

 

I started doing webalizer myself this week on my web server and I got to says is been a pain.

I edited the /etc/webalizer.conf and change the OutPutDir but with no luck it did not like it

anyways the only way around this was to leave he output directory alone.

 

So anyweb to install and use webalizer do the following steps.

 

First you will want to install webalizer

 



Code:
yum -y install webalizer




 

Once installed open up /etc/webalizer.conf with your favorite editor and uncomment and change the following

lines:

 



Code:
LogFile        /var/log/httpd/linux-noob-access_log
OutputDir      /var/www/usage #anyweb dont touch this because it will not produce the output
ReportTitle    Usage Statistics for
HostName       linux-noob.com
CountryGraph    yes
DailyGraph      yes
DailyStats      yes
HourlyGraph     yes
HourlyStats     yes




 

Once you have done that type the following:

 



Code:
webalizer -c /etc/webalizer.conf




 

The data will not be placed into /var/www/usage in your web browser type:

 

www.linux-noob.com/usage

 

you should see the stats if you done edit the following file:

 

/etc/httpd/conf.d/webalizer.conf

 

Well that

Hi,

 

Anyweb I am at uni so Ic ant find the exact bit in the webalizer config but I am very sure

it can produce them.



Configuring/using webalyzer - anyweb - 2005-11-14


webstat4u counter now removed, there goes my years of data :(

 

so you guys can surf here with no popups, dont blame me, blame that crappy company that took over nedstat...

 

anyway, i STILL need someone to help me show the referral links in webalizer as so far it's not showing me that data

 

cheers

Hi,

 

yay :) no more pop ups when I get home on thursday Ill have a good look around for you

also Ill be joing the uptime project :)

 

Hi,

 

Anyweb did a little research:

 

Top Table Options

 

TopReferrers

This allows you to specify how many "Top" referrers are

displayed in the "Top Referrers" table. The default is

30. If you want to disable the referrers table, specify

a value of zero (0). The display of referrer information

will only work if your web server includes this

 

Show All

The All* keywords allow the display of all URL's, Sites, Referrers



Configuring/using webalyzer - anyweb - 2005-11-19


still not working...

 

see this

 

Quote:# The All* keywords allow the display of all URL's, Sites, Referrers# User Agents, Search Strings and Usernames. If enabled, a seperate

# HTML page will be created, and a link will be added to the bottom

# of the appropriate "Top" table. There are a couple of conditions

# for this to occur.. First, there must be more items than will fit

# in the "Top" table (otherwise it would just be duplicating what is

# already displayed). Second, the listing will only show those items

# that are normally visable, which means it will not show any hidden

# items. Grouped entries will be listed first, followed by individual

# items. The value for these keywords can be either 'yes' or 'no',

# with the default being 'no'. Please be aware that these pages can

# be quite large in size, particularly the sites page, and seperate

# pages are generated for each month, which can consume quite a lot

# of disk space depending on the traffic to your site.

 

AllSites yes

AllURLs yes

AllReferrers yes

AllAgents yes

AllSearchStr yes

AllUsers yes
 

any ideas ?

is the reason this >

 

[root@localhost ~]# ls /usr/local/apache/logs/

access_log agent_log error_log httpd.pid referer_log

 

 

to generate my 'usage' report i'm using the 'access_log'

 

should I be using the 'referer_log' instead ? or can i combine them ?

 

cheers

ok after much reading here

 

[/url][url=http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/faq.html]http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/faq.html

 

and experimenting with options it seems that your httpd.conf file must use the combined log format in order for webalizer to display 'referers' correctly

 

that was my issue, my httpd.conf was setup to log the files in separate logs as listed above, now i've edited httpd.conf and set the format to combined

 

a quick restart of httpd and all should be good :)

 

cheers
