Re: [cobalt-developers] Webalizer 1.30 to 2.01 migration (step-by-step)

[ProServe - Peter Batenburg <peter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

wget ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/webalizer-2.01-06-linuxelf-bin.tgz
tar zxvf webalizer-2.01-06-linuxelf-bin.tgz
cd webalizer-2.01-06-linuxelf
cp webalizer /usr/bin/webalizer
wget ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/6.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libpng-1.0.5-3.i386.rpm
rpm -i libpng-1.0.5-3.i386.rpm

Thats all there is to it. The new webalizer also has dns resolving, so I
edited /etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl and changed this line:
`webalizer -n $asite -s $asite -r $asite -q -Q -T -o $thepath $prefix/$asite/logs/web.log`;
to:
`webalizer -p -D /home/dnscache.db -N 15 -n $asite -s $asite -r $asite -q -Q -T -o $thepath $prefix/$asite/logs/web.log`;
The /home/dnscache.db file is used to store the dns information. You can
leave it there, and you don't have to remove it. It just builds up every
time you use webalizer. It could grow to several Mb's but thats no problem
on the /home partition.
The -p command means incremental. I dunno why I use it, but it seems to
work ok.
-N 15 is the number of dns resolve processes that webalizer will start.
You can modify that to your own needs.
webalizer will probably run a bit longer than normal due to the dns
resolving. If it gives problems, just remove the -D and -N param.
I forgot to mention on cobalt-users that this has been successfully done
on RaQ3 and RaQ4* boxes.
