I did mean the FAILURE ON config statemnt of Analog, but apparently haven't had to re-configure Analog/RMagic for so long that I messed it up. cu, Martin -- Emacs would be a great | Martin Vorlaender | OpenVMS rules! operating system,| work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if only it came with | http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/ a decent editor... | home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ This is the reportmagic-help mailing list To change your subscription or other preferences use this URL: http://reportmagic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reportmagic-help

FAILURE ON in ReportMagic won't help much if you aren't generating a Failure Report in Analog in the first place. You need to put FAILURE ON in analog.cfg to get a report of the items that users asked for, that weren't on your server. Some of these will be files like robots.txt and favicon.ico that are often requested by browsers or search agents, and don't indicate a problem. Many more of them are likely to be attempts by worms to attck your server - your;re not being targetted directly, every web server gets loads of these.

You can try to track these down by turning on the Failed Referrer Report - FAILREF ON. (Of course, that assumes that your server is logging referrers). Just clarify, "FAILURE ON" (and "FAILREF ON") are commands that *only* work on the analog.cfg file. Report Magic will include all reports selected in analog. There is no equivalent command for the rmagic.ini file. -- Jeremy Wadsack Seven Simple Machines ___ This is the reportmagic-help mailing list To change your subscription or other preferences use this URL: http://reportmagic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reportmagic-help

And more inportant how can > this be solved?? lang/en/rdata.ini has the following on failed requests: The Failure Report identifies requests that were made to the server that resulted in an error such as a '404 Document Not Found'. These errors can be caused by a mistyped URL or a broken link on a referring page. So, get your users to not open broken URLs ;-) If you include "FAILURE ON" in your ReportMagic config file, you'll get a detailed report about which URLs caued the failed requests. cu, Martin -- | Martin Vorlaender | OpenVMS rules!
