Sorted.
It looks as if the webalizer on my system didn't have dns support? So I
followed the first part of this article
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-developers/2001-October/033965.h
tml
And re ran webalizer.pl which was modified to include the -N -D
switches. Now resolving the names.
Thanks all you guys for help.
Now if I wanted to upgrade from 2.06 - 2.09 would the only file be
required webalizer from the bin package?
Nigel
It should be. If you read the article on webalizer 2.01 at
www.bearfruit.org, it tells you how to back up the current bin file and
use a symbolic link so that you can easily undo your changes if needed.

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
