I'm trying to use a CONFIGFILE line to remove a bunch of referrer spam
from my referrer report. Analog complains if it can't find the file,
but the contents of the file don't seem to take effect - I still see all
the spammers' URLs.
Here is a line from MyRefSpam.txt:
REFEXCLUDE http://*.clicksolidario.com/*
I copied the format from RefSpam.txt to add some of my own:
http://www2.owen.vanderbilt.edu/mike.shor/diversions/analog/
at first I placed my config files in the parent directory to the one
where I issued the analog command line, so I included this in my config
file:
CONFIGFILE ../MyRefSpam.txt
Now, if ../MyRefSpam.txt wasn't there, analog would complain, but still
I see the spam. Then I tried putting it in the current directory, and
saying "CONFIGFILE MyRefSpam.txt". No luck there either.
If MyRefSpam.txt was then missing from the current directory, analog
would complain that it couldn't find /sw/etc/analog/MyRefSpam.txt. I'm
using Fink's analog on Mac OS X - it puts everything in /sw. So I put
my config files there, and tried just the filename as well as the full
path: /sw/etc/analog/MyRefSpam.txt. Nothing works.
I've been using the SearchQuery.txt all along now, but at this point I'm
not sure it's ever really been working - analog knows how to parse some
search engines' queries, so maybe I've been just seeing the default
behaviour.
Here is my full config file:
OUTFILE home/index.html
HOSTNAME "GoingWare Inc."
HOSTURL http://www.goingware.com/
CONFIGFILE /sw/etc/analog/SearchQuery.txt
CONFIGFILE /sw/etc/analog/RefSpam.txt
CONFIGFILE /sw/etc/analog/MyRefSpam.txt
SEARCHQUERY ON
REFERRER ON
FILEEXCLUDE /*
FILEINCLUDE /
FILEINCLUDE /index.html
REFFLOOR 1r
SEARCHQUERYFLOOR 1r
Thanks for any help you can give me.
