Can someone tell me where to get the version that has .htaccess authentication enabled as the only version i've found is the one with it disballed -

http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/webalizer-1.30.04.i386.pkg

The URL you posted will block access to domain.com/stats and limit entry to the siteadmin only. This is the exact version I have on my machine...

http://woobster.com/stats

question, if the site doesn't have a siteadmin, can the server admin access the password proected stats ?

Yes, that is no problem. The server admin can access it all the times. At least on our server that is ;-)

Correct.

I was wondering..

How much server resources does this webalizer take to read the stats? I mean, if a site gets a lot of hits, then the log files will be pretty big. Even though it runs once a day, wouldn't it take maybe even up to a few hours for it to read all those logs? And by doing this wouldn't the site be slow for the users?

interesting question which i'd like an answer to as well :)

I have been plyaing around with webalizer on my local machine, and it does slow down drastically with a 15mb log file. I have been looking for another analizer for a long time now. And no, the slow down is not because of my local machine. I have 256mb ram, and a p600 running :)

Thank you! That's what I thought.. I think I will stick with HitBox.com, that way I won't load my server and have a VERY detailed real time stat of the activity on my page.

However, Hotbox will slow the load time on your page.

You could, save the hitbox image on your server and optimize it. The image shouldnt make a drastic difference image on the page load time though.

hitbox was good, but try http://www.iclicks.com from mycomputer.com stats and US$0.10 per click

i am tracking 30,000 pageviews/day with iclicks and the stats are fairly good and more accurate that hitbox was

Can you set a maximum size for the webalizer logfile ?

Eva,
HitBox offers the $.10/click program as well.

Saeed

Not just the image though. I takes time to compute the hit. Run your site through http://www.netmechanic.com . It shows how long the loading time is on each graphic, text, outside links and so on.

Saeed yeah but hitbox ain't accurate anymore :(
