[CentOS] Webalizer displays wrong year
I just run webalizer manually on an Apache log, like I have done many times before. Some new statistics were created, but for August 2006 instead of August 2008. I cannot figure why! Because of my mistake, the webalizer statistics for this site have not been updated since February. Now I tried to update them for the first time - with the results I described above. The system clock is in correct time (2008). The dates printed in Apache logs are correct (2008). Webalizer, when it is run, creates these new files (note the wrong year): -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 569 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.hist -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 127507 Aug 29 10:57 webalizer.current -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache2957 Aug 29 10:57 usage.png -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 137863 Aug 29 10:57 usage_200608.html -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache 10190 Aug 29 10:57 index.html -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache2178 Aug 29 10:57 hourly_usage_200608.png -rwxrwx--- 1 root apache3900 Aug 29 10:57 daily_usage_200608.png On Webalizer page index.html, the new stats get labeled Aug 2006, and - another strange thing - the item is displayed on the list (on index.html) between Jul 2007 and Sep 2007!! The original Aug 2007 seems to be missing. Any ideas what could be wrong?? - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. fax +358 9 493 981 * SMS +358 40 771 2098 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.greenspot.fi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Something similar happened to me, but only when I had set the server date forward and accessed the apache server pages with a future date. As a result, the apache logs contained that future date. The /var/lib/webalizer/webalizer.current file then contained a future date and so with Webalizer working in incremental mode, it was ignoring all log entries prior to that future date. The result was my correctly dated logs were being ignored. To fix this, and I know it seems to be the reverse of you are describing, I cleared the /var/lib/webalizer/webalizer.current file and purged my logs of future dated entries. I can only hope that this helps you a little... :) Ian ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But I circled around the problem by starting the statistics fresh. I processed all the access logs that I have (5 log files), and the new statistics are now quite ok. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. fax +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.greenspot.fi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Webalizer displays wrong year
Only now I remembered that my old webalizer statistics for this site were transferred from another machine. The old machine runs OS X 10.2, and the webalizer version is one imcrement older than on the new Linux machine (V2.01.09 vs. V2.01.10). This is the probable reason for the date anomaly - actually the only hypothesis I can come up with. :-) - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. fax +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.greenspot.fi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I live in South Australia and had to Google LassoTalk to find out what it was :-\ Anyway, I'm glad to hear you've repaired your webalizer ;-) Ian ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
