Morning Mat, � �I have checked the /etc dir for webalizer.conf nothing same with locate webalizer.conf. So will this be correct syntax as per you doc: � $messages .= ���������� `webalizer -N 5 -D /home/webalizer/cache.dns -n $asite -s $asite -r $asite -q -T -o $thepath ��� $prefix/$asit ��� /logs/web.log`;
or Shall I create a conf file in /etc and have the contents : DNSChildren 5 DNSCache /home/webalizer/cache.dns And nothing else?

I gather this is just run daily via the webalizer.pl in the section : You do, it's /etc/webalizer.conf I believe. You can run the following command to find it: locate webalizer.conf $messages .= `webalizer -n $asite -s $asite -r $asite -q -T -o $thepath $prefix/$asit /logs/web.log`; could I amend this to include the dns lookup? If so how? Yes you can. The last link in my message has very clear instructions on what to do. I personally prefer the webalizer.conf file but either will provide a workable solution.

By default its OFF and it records IP no's rather than domain name. Once its ON the next time webalizer generate the report It will show you the Country Pie chart. Yikes! Don't do this, there's a better way. If you do this, you will slow your server way down, and in some cases, people may not be able to see websites on your server! (for instance, reverse lookups fail or go very slow). All webalizer 2 versions have reverse DNS lookups built in. THerefore it will resolve the names in the logfile automatically when the log files are processed. In your webalizer.conf file, set the following options: DNSChildren 5 You can go as high as 20 without too much problem. If you have 512 MB Ram or more do 20, otherwise do 5 - 10. DNSCache /home/webalizer/cache.dns Those two options will cause webalizer to process the log files twice, once to resolve the IP address and store them in a cache file, the second time to create the reports as usual, using the DNS name in the cache instead of the ip address. Processing log files will take 2-3 times longer than normal, but hopefully you're processing your log files during your off peak hours. I documented this a while back at www.bearfruit.org and you can get more information at www.mrunix.com/webalizer and ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/DNS.README Matt Nuzum _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
