webalizer monitoring apache logs on freebsd6
Hello, I'm trying to use webalizer to analyze apache2 web logs and report on traffic on my freebsd6 box. Both apache2 and webalizer are set to scan the combined log type. Webalizer runs via cron and this error is what i get that's it. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

I believe it is an attempt to exploit a Windows web server weakness. The problem is that the control codes fill up the apache log file and webilizer cannot handle the record.

Hi, Thanks. The problem is this is a nightly thing, webalizer always sends me this output. Thanks.

You'll still get warned about fatal errors (ie, can't find logfile, etc) but all other status/error/warning messages are supressed. A real benefit if you're processing multiple logs nightly and don't want to get swamped with N emails in the morning from cron. -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
