[cobalt-developers] Using ip2host w/webalizer (was HELP!)

Yes, that will do it temporarily, but in order to prevent the webalizer perl
script from recreating the file, you should just use an empty .htaccess file
instead of deleting it.

Try installing ip2host on your machine:

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/ip2host/

This is a fast script which can resolve the IP addresses in your existing
log files. I use this script to resolve the parsed log file for each virtual
site to a temp file, then have webalizer run against that file instead of
the regular log file, then remove the temp file. Now your stats will display
the country names instead of getting the 100% unknown thing.

I just posted this version of the 1.3 script at:

Hope this helps.
