[cobalt-users] Webalizer problem solved!!!!

["L. James Prevo" <president@xxxxxxxxx>]

For those having problems with Webalizer with the following problems, I came
up with a way that solves them.

1.  Not able to publish with FrontPage
2.  Not able to Turn off and not have stats for a users site
3.  Having to Chmod and Crown Front Page users sites for them to publish.


I started thinking,  why not have the stats in the "users" directory
that way it would not interfere with Frontpage when your users publish

I did a test on this and it works great.

I created a directory in the users directory called stats

I changed the following lines in webalizer.pl to the following

before:

    $webpath = "$prefix/$asite/web";
    $thepath = "$prefix/$asite/web/stats";

After:
    $webpath = "$prefix/$asite/users/stats";
    $thepath = "$prefix/$asite/users/stats/web";

All you need to do is create a directory called "stats" in
in the site's user directory.

The stats then show up when you goto  http://domainname.com/~stats

This eliminates the problem with Frontpage and second, if you
didn't want a site to generate a report, you would not put
a stats directory in their users directory.  You will however
get a email saying "error: unknow directory" in your admin
email.  But you could discard it.  The email is good to see
what sites are not getting the stats generated.

Just thought I would share this with everyone.

Only draw back, you can't have a user called stats, but who
would anyways.
