RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 Stats program

["Michael Aronoff" <ma@xxxxxxxx>]

When I sent this it was based on the info at urchin's website. But this
method while making Urchin work, breaks the statistics built in to the
cobalt admin screens.

Yesterday, based on another post to this list I figured out how to make both
work.  The instructions below detail the procedure for that.

In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf you should have the log directives as follows:

# The following directives define some format nicknames for use with
# a CustomLog directive (see below).

LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
combined
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer
LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent
LogFormat "%h %v %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\""
urchin

# The location of the access logfile (Common Logfile Format).
# If this does not start with /, ServerRoot is prepended to it.

CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access combined
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access.urchin urchin

Then in you urchin folder edit the config file so that the line:
TransferLog:        /var/log/httpd/access
reads instead:
TransferLog:        /var/log/httpd/access.urchin

This will make all the reports in the Cobalt screens work PLUS make a new
logfile in the format that Urchin likes.  I have not noticed a performance
hit but since technically you are doubling the logging I guess there could
be a hit if you had very heavy traffic.

Let me know how this goes.

It works! At first it kept spitting out the same errors, but then I noticed
I left out "www." in the ReportDirectory field. Thanks!
