RE: [cobalt-developers] Webilizer 2.01 PKG install -setupCountryResolves?

["Nigel Hewett" <nigel.hewett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:( I amended the line as below but still runs as normal, no cache.dns
created. I also tried webazolver manually still no joy :( webasolver
command not found. Have you a sample webalizer.conf I can modify to try
running that. Ie webalizer -c /etc/webalizer.conf /home/sites/.....log

Thanks

Nigel

    Morning Mat,
     
     I have checked the /etc dir for webalizer.conf nothing same with
locate
    webalizer.conf. So will this be correct syntax as per you doc:
     
    $messages .=
               `webalizer -N 5 -D /home/webalizer/cache.dns -n $asite -s
    $asite -r $asite -q -T -o $thepath
        $prefix/$asit
        /logs/web.log`;
Looks OK.   Make sure folder /home/webalizer exists.  Of course, make
sure there are no unwated carriage returns.
    
    or
    
    Shall I create a conf file in /etc and have the contents :
    
    DNSChildren 5
    DNSCache /home/webalizer/cache.dns
    
    And nothing else?
    
    Thanks again
    
    Nigel

        Matthew,
        
        	Being a newbie I don't believe I have a conf file. This
was
        installed via the web interface as a pkg and I have not done no
    more. I
        gather this is just run daily via the webalizer.pl in the
section :
        
    You do, it's /etc/webalizer.conf I believe.  You can run the
following
    command to find it:
    locate webalizer.conf
           $messages .=
               `webalizer -n $asite -s $asite -r $asite -q -T -o
$thepath
        $prefix/$asit
        /logs/web.log`;
        
        could I amend this to include the dns lookup? If so how?
    Yes you can.  The last link in my message has very clear
instructions on
    what to do.  I personally prefer the webalizer.conf file but either
will
    provide a workable solution.

            Dear Nigel,
            
            As far as I know is you need to switch on the HostNameLookup
ON
    in
            httpd.conf. By default its OFF and it records IP no's rather
    than
        domain
            name. Once its ON the next time webalizer generate the
report It
        will show
            you the Country Pie chart.
        Yikes!  Don't do this, there's a better way.  If you do this,
you
    will
        slow your server way down, and in some cases, people may not be
able
    to
        see websites on your server! (for instance, reverse lookups fail
or
    go
        very slow).
        
        All webalizer 2 versions have reverse DNS lookups built in.
    THerefore
        it will resolve the names in the logfile automatically when the
log
        files are processed.  
        
        In your webalizer.conf file, set the following options:
        DNSChildren 5
        	You can go as high as 20 without too much problem.  
        	If you have 512 MB Ram or more do 20, otherwise do 5 -
10.
        DNSCache /home/webalizer/cache.dns
        
        Those two options will cause webalizer to process the log files
    twice,
        once to resolve the IP address and store them in a cache file,
the
        second time to create the reports as usual, using the DNS name
in
    the
        cache instead of the ip address.
        
        Processing log files will take 2-3 times longer than normal, but
        hopefully you're processing your log files during your off peak
    hours.
        
        I documented this a while back at www.bearfruit.org and you can
get
    more
        information at www.mrunix.com/webalizer and
        ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/DNS.README
