on a raq4 with "massive hits" on a site... the logrotation program will wipe
them all away before webalizer ever has a chance....  What I do is...
mv /etc/logrotate.d/apache /etc/logrotate.d/zapache
and
mv /etc/logrotate.onboot/apache /etc/logrotate.onboot/zapache

The stats will hicup for a day and to avoid that... well it depends on your
install of webalizer
one example would be
cp /etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl /etc/cron.daily/awebalizer.pl

then get rid of it after a day or two....

What is considered a "massive" amount of hits on a Raq4r server? I telneted in and typed "man webalizer" in hopes of finding out some information but this didn't work.
Even individual sites that only get roughly 100 visits per day (some 500 pages perhaps) have days missing. By doing the following: 


mv /etc/logrotate.d/apache /etc/logrotate.d/zapache
and
mv /etc/logrotate.onboot/apache /etc/logrotate.onboot/zapache
what exactly does that do? Do I only have to type this once and it'll work fine from then on in? Or is there something I have to change in the webalizer configuration? I just downloaded the .pkg file and installed it. 

Thanks,
