Re: [cobalt-users] about visitor statistics

It's actually http://www.domain.com/~stats
With a tilde mark before stats. It's set up as a user's directory, so 
you need the tilde (little squiggly mark). You'll also need that 
siteadmin's username and password, as it is .htaccess protected.

One change I made immediately was to change the .htaccess file that 
Webalizer writes so that it would accept *any* valid user on any 
domain. I did this right through the webalizer file itself. It has 
pros and cons, though:

Con - any user on the box can get in and see any other domain's 
stats. That's not a big deal in my opinion (and in my current 
clients' opinions), and the user has to know what other domains are 
on there before he can do this.

Pro - multiple people administrating one site can each log in and 
view the stats with their own username/password, rather than having 
to know the siteadmin's username/pass - which I don't like at all.
