in my webalizer, for some reason, it doeesnt tell me where the people
visiting my site r from. it just says unknown. on other hosts, it did
tell me. do ive to change something in the apache conf file or
something????
Make sure you have the following in webalizer.conf:
# DNSCache specifies the DNS cache filename to use for reverse DNS lookups.
# This file must be specified if you wish to perform name lookups on any IP
# addresses found in the log file. If an absolute path is not given as
# part of the filename (ie: starts with a leading '/'), then the name is
# relative to the default output directory. See the DNS.README file for
# additional information.
DNSCache /var/lib/webalizer/dns_cache.db
or alternatively, you might want to try turning on HostnameLookups in
httpd.conf:
# HostnameLookups: Log the names of clients or just their IP addresses
# e.g.,
www.apache.org (on) or 204.62.129.132 (off).
# The default is off because it'd be overall better for the net if people
# had to knowingly turn this feature on, since enabling it means that
# each client request will result in AT LEAST one lookup request to the
# nameserver.
#
HostnameLookups On
also, it only tells me the top 15 user agents and search
strings. i want to see everything! before, in webalizer, on my old
host, i could do that as well
You can override default settings in webalizer.conf:
# The "Top" options below define the number of entries for each table.
# Defaults are Sites=30, URL's=30, Referrers=30 and Agents=15, and
# Countries=30. TopKSites and TopKURLs (by KByte tables) both default
# to 10, as do the top entry/exit tables (TopEntry/TopExit). The top
# search strings and usernames default to 20. Tables may be disabled
# by using zero (0) for the value.
#TopSites 30
#TopKSites 10
#TopURLs 30
#TopKURLs 10
#TopReferrers 30
#TopAgents 15
#TopCountries 30
#TopEntry 10
#TopExit 10
#TopSearch 20
#TopUsers 20
