I believe this has been answered about 20 times in the past 3 months, and
I'm pretty sure you haven't searched the archives for "Lame server"
because you would have got the answer yourself if u had...

I'll answer it anyway.

Yes, it's very possible that after running webalizer that will happen,
especially because that look on the time - 04:04am, when cron.daily (and
webalizer) are running.

Anyhow, for you, this message means anything, and you can safely ignore
it. It means that there are problems on the server you're accessing, and
not YOUR server...

If you want to know what it means although you shouldn't care - look in
the archives :)
