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

["Alec Woolford" <awoolford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again for your help Peter, everything seemed to be going well until
yesterday when the stats dropped suddenly once again.

I have renamed webalizer to awebalizer in the cron.daily file so it runs
before logrotate?

If you have any ideas as to why i'm still getting the major drops I woulf be
very grateful.
