<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">QUESTION:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">What do I need to do to start doing incremental Webalizer and recreate webalizer.current and webalizer.hist?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">BACKGROUND:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">We have some web servers that have webalizer already installed. This put the files created in /var/www/usage and the webalizer.current and webalizer.hist in
/var/lib/webalizer as defined by /etc/webalizer.conf. Incremental is set to yes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">There is a cron.daily job to run webalizer once a day and presumably this would increment. However the webalizer.conf specified the file to use as /var/log/httpd/access_log.
The files in /var/www/usage quit being updated around Sep of last year. The reason it isn’t being updated is because we made a change (presumably Sep last year but I’d have thought it was earlier) to rotate the access_log files so we now have multiple logs
with a numeric suffix.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">As a test I ran “webalizer access_log.########” on one of these logs and sure enough it updated statistics to show what was in that log. So far so good.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">However, I didn’t realize the incremental setup until after I’d done the above and had unfortunately chosen the latest file. I now can’t update the statistics
using the earlier files (I have them going back to 19-Jul). I tried moving the stuff out of /var/www/usage and out of /var/lib/webalizer but this didn’t help even if I ran “webalizer –i” which is supposed to ignore the history file and it doesn’t seem to
recreate the files.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial">I found online stuff that talks about converting webalizer.current but nothing that talks about creating it from scratch. Hence my question. That is to
say I don’t care about the history from last year and simply want to start running webalizer to get the information from the log files I have going back to the 19<sup>th</sup> of this month.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
