Thanx Will for your advise.

One more questions.
When I do this will the files web.log and web.log.?.gz be created for EVERY
site ?
(I need them for webalizer)

Regards,

Steven Depuydt

The cache file is generated by analog when invoked from
/usr/local/sbin/split_logs which is invoked from
/etc/logrotate.d/apache.

You do want split_logs to sort through /var/log/httpd/access and create
all the per-site logs as it does now, but you don't want it to invoke
analog.

There are a few ways of resolving this problem.

*** The following suggestions are unsupported and are issued as free,
friendly, useful help ***

You could disable analog, the application and create a dummy in its
place:

  mv /usr/local/sbin/analog /usr/local/sbin/analog.disabled
  echo "#!/bin/sh" > /usr/local/sbin/analog
  echo "exit 0" >> /usr/local/sbin/analog
  chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/analog

Now be aware that ALL built-in site and server Cobalt statistics will no
longer generate.  The changes listed above appear to work on one of my
development RaQs.

To undo this change, should it cause a problem a few months down the
road:

  mv /usr/local/sbin/analog.disabled /usr/local/sbin/analog

...Remember that any OS Update package files that update analog will
overwrite /usr/local/sbin/analog so you'd have to reapply this hack.
