Hi,

I've successfully installed Webalizer 2.0 but whenever I try to view the stats for any of the virtual sites, I get a username/password prompt and if I try to use any user account that is created for the particular virtual host, it fails to aunthenticate.

Only my root username/password can pass the authentication.

Is it possible to remove authentication from Webalizer? Or is there something I'm missing to include the accounts created on virtual sites to access their logs?

Thanks
Abbas

Did you install from the .pkg file, or did you install manually? If you installed fromt he .pkg file, have you tried the user/pswd of the site administrator? That combo should work, in addition to your RaQ admin (root) user/pswd.

If you really want to remove the pswd stuff, try renaming the .htaccess file in the stats directory to something else (don't delete it in case you want to back-track).

I installed using the .pkg file

I like the idea of removing the .htaccess file. Can you tell me which directory is it stored in? there is no "~stats" directory under the virtual site's sub directory.

Thanks

wont be ~/stats

there should be a stats dir under your web
/home/sites/site#/web/stats

one of your users should be checked as administrator and they can get in using there login

you can also use your login to view any account

I went into that directory and deleted the .htaccess files and yet it brings up the username/password prompt. Strange!

I don't even see a .htaccess file in the stats directory via ftp or Telnet. Any ideas to remove the password pop-up?

Well if you are getting a 'password pop-up' then there is an .htaccess somewhere there :) Do you have it set to display hidden '.files' (-a)?

DOH! Thanks Chicken...

Well, deleting the .htaccess doesn't help as it re-created the file again when it ran last night. Isn't there an option somewhere to turn off the password prompt?

Why don't you try using a blank .htaccess file ("cd" to the directory, then "rm .htaccess" then "touch .htaccess"). Maybe if Webalizer finds that an .htaccess file exists it won't try and recreate it (even though it's empty).
