| 1 | webalizer for Debian |
| 2 | -------------------- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | For configuration, checkout /etc/webalizer/webalizer.conf. Full description |
| 5 | of the different options is in there too. Also, the 'webalizer --help' |
| 6 | command might be useful. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | NOTE: This package was ported to use Gettext. |
| 9 | Option --with-language=<language> in configure script was striped. |
| 10 | If your language wasnt in webalizer, please translate .po file and |
| 11 | sent to me. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | NOTE: This package was linked against GD 1.3, instead of 1.2. libgd-1.3's |
| 14 | copyright is fairly different compared to libgd-1.2's. In fact, |
| 15 | version 1.3 of this graphics library is DFSG compliant. So the |
| 16 | copyright mentioned in the COPYRIGHT file that comes with the source |
| 17 | package of webalizer, doesn't apply to the binary package (at least, |
| 18 | the GD-stuff in the COPYRIGHT file doesn't). |

| 21 | About webalizer cron.d script. |
| 22 | ----------------------------------- |
| 23 | Since webalizer (2.01.10-30) version, cron.d script (/etc/cron.daily/webalizer) |
| 24 | Was changed to read /etc/webalizer/*.conf files instead of just one |
| 25 | /etc/webalizer.conf config file. |
| 26 | If you want to create .conf files to multiple domains or vhost, just create |
| 27 | your .conf file in /etc/webalizer and cron.d script will run all days. |

| 30 | FAQ: |
| 31 | Q: |
| 32 | Debian Bug report logs - #81918 |
| 33 | Webalizer doesn't run properly but display some sort of error messages: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | $ webalizer -q -n www.linuxtag.de -t Web Statistik -o \ |
| 36 | /var/lib/webspace/service.ffis.de/stats/www.linuxtag.de \ |
| 37 | /var/lib/webspace/etc/www.linuxtag.de/2001-01-10.log |
| 38 | Error: Unable to restore run data (99) |
| 39 | A: |
| 40 | Any error that says it failed to load the data file indicates a corrupt |
| 41 | data file. The one mentioned in the bug report is an exception (error 99), |
| 42 | which means that the data file being read was from a previous version and |
| 43 | is incompatible with the version being run. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Q: |
| 46 | Debian Bug report logs - #299260 |
| 47 | Webalizer: fails to operate on squid-logs if locales is set to de_DE@euro |
| 48 | due to bad date |
| 49 | A: |
| 50 | The webalizer requires the date field to be confirmant to RFC specs.. |
| 51 | You can change that in apache, but it breaks RFC conformance. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Q: |
| 54 | Debian Bug report logs - #114768 |
| 55 | I've switched off the URL report (it's a collated log file of multiple |
| 56 | sites, so there ain't much info in there). |
| 57 | But the "Top URLs By KBytes" still appears, only the listing by # of hits is |
| 58 | gone. |
| 59 | It does work for all the other tables I've switched off (both Referrer |
| 60 | tables, for example). |
| 61 | A: |
| 62 | There are 2 URL tables: one by hits, and one by KBytes. Setting TopURLs to |
| 63 | zero suppresses the one by hits. Setting TopKURLs to zero suppresses the |
| 64 | one by KBytes. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Q: |
| 67 | Debian Bug report logs - #258058 |
| 68 | Webalizer generates html reports that have badly encoded polish special |
| 69 | signs, i.e. they display as "?". |
| 70 | A: |
| 71 | Problem with browser not generating polish, possible fix is to add |
| 72 | a charset tag via the HTMLHead config option for the correct charset. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Q: |
| 75 | Debian Bug report logs - #98749 |
| 76 | Webalizer can't handle spaces in URLs at all, the URL is cut at the |
| 77 | first space and the statistics are generated accordingly. |
| 78 | For example "Test File" is handled as if it were "Test" |
| 79 | A: |
| 80 | True. According to the RFC, space characters are considered 'unsafe' |
| 81 | and should not be used in URLs. In addition, space characters are |
| 82 | used for field terminators in web logs. Leave it to Microsoft to |
| 83 | encourage their use and subvert the RFC. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Q: |
| 86 | Debian Bug report logs - #298823 |
| 87 | "Warning: String exceeds storage size" problem |
| 88 | I'm *regularily* getting the following notorious messages: |
| 89 | [new_unode] Warning: String exceeds storage size (261) |
| 90 | A: |
| 91 | These are simply warnings and do not effect the program. Same with |
| 92 | the 'Truncating...' messages. If it really bugs someone, they can |
| 93 | increase the buffer sizes in webalizer.h, but can otherwise be safely |
| 94 | ignored. |
