Title: Webalizer and similar software
Post by: Lee on June 14, 2001, 12:15:59 PM

Can someone recommend a Web traffic analyzer program
that can be easily installed with E-smith 4.1.2?  Something
that is 100% RPM installable on 4.1.2 is preferred but I'll take what
I can get.

You might want to check out:

It is listed in the Contributed How-To's Section of the e-Smith development site.

I use Webalizer (http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/), analog (http://www.analog.cx/) and "Les visiteurs" (http://www.phpinfo.net/applis/visiteurs/)
For the 2 firsts, you just need the binary and a configuration file.

You can have a look at them on my personnal web site : http://www.grand-pa.dyndns.org/divers/statistiques.html
They are in french but exist in english or other languages.

I've tried awstats, but it is really too slow on old computers.

Regards.

1) Download the file ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/webalizer-2.01-06-linuxelf-bin.tgz
2) untar it (tar xzvf webalizer-2.01-06-linuxelf-bin.tgz)
3) modify the file webalizer.conf (you can see an exemple on my site : http://www.grand-pa.dyndns.org/divers/webalizer/webalizer.conf)
4) run webalizer (./webalizer -c webalizer.conf)

If you want to run it periodically, you can create a file /etc/cron.d/webalizer :
MAILTO=admin
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
*/20 * * * *   root   /usr/bin/webalizer -c /etc/webalizer.conf > /dev/null

Of course, change the paths to make them corresponding to where you have put the binary and the configuration files.

Restart the cron daemon (service crond restart) and the html page will be updated every 20 minutes.

I apologize for my english.
