[cobalt-users] Webalizer... read only question



I have Webalizer 1.30.04-1 installed on a RaQ 4i. I cannot publish any
FrontPage sites on the machine. If I go to the GUI and disable FP and then
re-enable it, I can again publish to the FP site again until the next
morning. After Webalizer does its thing at 4 something am, I can again no
longer publish to a FrontPage site. I can edit the files live on the server.

I have read here in the past that the solution is to go to
/etc/cron.daily/webalizer.pl and change
$messages .= `chown -R httpd:$name $thepath`;         to
$messages .= `chown -R nobody:$name $thepath`;
I tried over-writing the file by FTP but couldn't do it as the file is read
only. Is there a way of doing this by FTP? If Telnet is the only solution,
can anyone tell me the command to make the file so it is not read only, and
should I make it read-only again when I am finished?

I know it has been asked in the past, but of the stats add-ons that have
been mentioned, is Webalizer the best of them? I'm assuming that because
Cobalt has it on their site they are giving it some kind of approval.

Thanks - Arthur
