[cobalt-users] Site logs not generating

[lists <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I had a similar problem. After I had updated Webalizer from 1.3 to 
2.01 my logs stopped.

I logged in as root and then went directly to the cron.daily directory.

cd /etc/cron.daily

I then typed ./logrotate and off it went.

Try typing: locate -u    which will update the database cache of all 
the files on the disk and then type

locate xferlog	to see if there is any duplicates.

I assume you have updated all the software on your RaQ3 as per the 
downloads from cobalts web site.

Maybe try renaming the xferlog file, see what happens. Not sure if it 
will work?

Best of luck as I know how difficult it is to get a response from 
cobalt support.

Cheers

James
