I installed webalizer on my server. It generates reports for all virtual domains fine. But it also puts an .htaccess file into the stats dir and then you won't be able to view the stats dir. When i delete the .htacces file all works fine. But next day it's created again.
Were can i configure this standard .htaccess file. Can't find anything in the conf file.

Also, do other people have problems with the amounts of kb a site generates. According to my cobalt CP site generate 300-400 MB traffic a day, but webalizer shows only 50-60 MB's for that day?!

Webalizer only show the bytes transfered in the body of the request. It doesn't count bytes transfered in TCP/IP overhead, HTTP headers, or other traffic that may be occuring on your server (like all those damn CodeRed requests that plague us even if we don't run a MickeySoft server).

What version of Webalizer are you running? I never heard of it generating a .htaccess file. But I'm not totally surprised. It has all kinds of "helpful" features. I have worked with programmers like the one who rote that program and they can be pretty annoying.... "I *know* what they need. It's not what they want, but what they need." I've become so annoyed with Webalizer, I'm writing my own.
