 | View Full Version : webalizer vs. cobalt usage stats DHWWnet 02-18-2001, 04:41 PM Hi, iMHO , both are ok except that webalizer have some nice graphical output compared to cobalts stock analog stats :( best of all its free and fast :) if you have not installed it yet, i recommend you do, and get the one with the auth .pkg at cobalts ftp site. the only short comings , i can think of right now is, possibly if you upgrade a patch or two ,webalizer might stop working on the raq especially, they just released a log rotate patch and i dont know if installing this patch would mess up webalizer ? elijaH netastic 02-18-2001, 04:48 PM will webalizer disable the usage stats page on the Cobalt server admin? how about at the site admin? what URL do i go to to see cumulative domain stats after loading webalizer? what URL should my customers go to to see their web site's stats after loading webalizer? DHWWnet 02-18-2001, 04:53 PM Hi :) ours worked both ways in cobalts cp and webalizers's yourdomain.com/stats get the one with the auth .pkg! so everytime your customers type in domain.com/stats they will be prompted for a user and passwd. its at ftp.cobalt.com or search for chickens post around here , i think he posted a url for the auth .pkg elijaH teck 02-18-2001, 05:17 PM i have one without the auth package. can i just upgrade like that? do i have to uninstall the one w/o the auth? DHWWnet 02-18-2001, 05:41 PM Hi :) I think, you have to uninstall the other one and install the auth .pkg elijaH Pingu 02-18-2001, 06:19 PM The auth version is on ftp://ftp.cobal.net/pub/experimental/raq3 I installed it right over the non-auth version and it worked although I did get some weird error message, so that's probable not the right way ;) Chicken 02-18-2001, 09:55 PM Originally posted by teck i have one without the auth package. can i just upgrade like that? do i have to uninstall the one w/o the auth? The 'auth' is just a .htaccess file, which you could create yourself. I believe this would work if you put it in the stats directory: #Access file order allow,deny allow from all require group siteX Authname WebStats Authtype Basic |
