Re: [cobalt-users] Webalizer on Qube3

Hi, Bob and thank you for this answer. However, when I tried to take
advantage of it, I was stymied by some problems.

First, I went to the home page of AWSTATS at http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
and poked around there. But I could not find any advice on the
download-install phase, so I was uncomfortable using a ".gz" or ".rpm"
version. 

As luck would have it, I did find the NuOnce Networks site where a number of
PKG packages are available (http://www.nuonce.net/awstats-cobalt.php).

I figured I would be able to use the Cobalt Qube 3 interface via BlueLinq to
Add a Program (manually). This seemed to almost work. The site only gives
choices of RaQ3/4 versions or RaQ550, so I felt that the RaQ550 is more akin
to a Qube3 than the others (just my best guess).

I got the RaQ550 package downloaded to the machine but it would not install
because it is "not for this model." So naturally I selected the RaQ3/4
choice and tried again. This time, the download failed due to an
"authentication" problem. ("There was an error verifying the package file.
It may be corrupted, or it may not have the correct authentication
information. The software package was not installed.")

The current release version of AWSTATS is 5.9 and I tried that, plus the 5.7
and the 5.5 versions of the RaQ3/4 version. All gave the "authentication"
problem.

So I am wondering whether anyone can tell me specifically how to do an RPM
install of this software, and whether it is safe to do it on a Qube 3. Also,
what would people say the Qube 3 resembles best, the RaQ550 or the RaQ3/4?
