I am not very knowledgeable on servers. I have a raq 4 with os2 but not php 4.1.2. I have just installed webalizer release 1.30-04-7gif-4 as a pkg file that I downloaded from pkgmaster. I FTPed the file to my packages directory and then installed as a loaded package from the install software screen. The package has been listed as installed but I don't seam to have any stats.

I rebooted the RaQ.

I expected each site to have a stats sub directory of web where I could see the stats. This hasn't happened. Have I done something wrong? Do I need to create these directories myself?

If anyone can help I would be grateful

Please don't go into masses of technical depth, it will only loose me. I am not much good at servers.

Hi Alan,

You will not see the directory created instantly after you install webalizer. To faster the webliazer effect, SSH/telnet to your server, execute webalizer.pl . Hopefully, it will run and stats directory will be created. It should be at /etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl

Do a "./etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl" . Please double check the location by doing a "locate webalizer.pl"


If nothing happen.........

I would suggest you remove the webalizer and install it again.

REMOVE of Webalizer
SSH/telnet into your server do the following:

1. CD to "/var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers"
2. type "./weblaizer...blahblahblah.uninst"

Now webalizer had being uninstall,

INSTALLATION AGAIN
Install webalizer again, do the following.

1. CD to "/home/packages"
2. Get the webalizer file again. Just to make sure it is correctly store in the packages folder. "wget http://pkgmaster.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-Webalizer-1.30-04-7GIF-4.pkg"

3. Go to your software installation screen, install the webalizer pkg again.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't need to do anything. I woke up this morning and all was well. Obvious really webalizer must run on a timer.

Hi Alan,

The webalizer will run in cron.daily by default.
Anyway, good luck to your site.

My webalizer keeps producing "Truncating oversized request field" errors when it runs. Any ideas on what would cause this, because it certainly isn't tracking our stats correctly, and I'm thinking this may be because of the above error.

Also, the docs all say the default .conf file is in the current directory? Where is the "current directory"?
