Post by: newastro on August 04, 2008, 03:04:06 PM

Hi,

Thank's
John

hi

- what stat software are you talking about?
- why do you need to chmod that file?
- why should we answer you directly on your email?

ciao

Its logaholic software for stats. It is installed ok, but there is no Read access to the /var/log/httpd/acces_log and I can't CHMOD the file for read - some protection software is running on the e-mith install 7.3

I also think it's made for security reasons in the SME 7.3 standard installation.

Regards john

only root has access to /var/log/httpd directory and no, there's no "protection software" running on sme server

drwx------   2 root     root         4096 Aug  1 01:12 httpd

strange enough, on sme 6.0.1 the same dir has different permissions:

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Aug  1 01:12 httpd

awstats, available as a contrib, works flawlessy..
http://wiki.contribs.org/AWStats (http://wiki.contribs.org/AWStats)

BTW, I think this is the wrong forum to talk about your sw..

Thanks for fast reply.

It then must be rootkit hunter or other installed moduls. I cant change the logfiles for R as root from promt ;-)

I first tryed the awstat but this modul can find the path for reading the output (on 7.3)

nope..

rootkit hunter is a script, and there's no real-time fs control..

HTH
Ciao
