Did you install it unmodified (default) ?

It's probably something to do with the rotation of the logs. My clients server hasn't been displaying stats for a few months now, I guess it has something to do with how they setup the stats...

Generally, yes. Webalizer installs and is run from cron.daily (once a day at set time). Unfortunately, your log files don't follow the same rule. They rotate out based on two rules:

1) Certain time of day *or*
2) When the file gets too big (2 MB I believe).

Logs rotate out, Webalizer goes to read it hours later, and surprise, nothing to read and report on.

Felix posted a fix, which consists of changing the rules for Webalizer. Instead of it running once per day (which works until it doesn't), it is run just before the logs rotate out.

I believe I've reposted Felix's post, but if you can't find that or the original post, I'll look for the it again (I save everything, hence my computer is packed full of crap :D)
