Well, under normal circumstances these error message have one of these
reasons:

- you started webalizer with a, huh, say, user who has no rights to access
different site directories --> run as root

- the specific log files were empty or not even existing because they
haven't been generated yet.

As John D. wrote an hour ago, webalizer2 will start the following day (I
simply forgot). But hey, have you read the remark about the first of the
month on http://cobalt-aid.sourceforge.net? There's a quite important
remark!

Sometimes you get different error messages about truncating something. This
is just yada yada. Better ignore it.
