Hi All; I have AW-Stats on my Raq 4 and someone somehow managed to get several porn sites listed in the stats..... Grumble.... Grumble... Customer found it..... A Church Webmaster no less!!!! How do I stop it ???? I like to use it as a demo of what I have set up I hate to limit it because someone is having fun at my expense It can be found here at http://www.chautauqualake.net/ http://www.chautauqualake.net/awstats/ I also have Weblizer as well No problems there http://www.chautauqualake.net/stats/ Thanks for any help Franklin S. Werren www.bagpipes.net www.chautauqualake.net www.franksradio.net http://stvef.chautauqualake.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- Franklin, The solution for this problem really needs to be built into awstats. It needs to have the ability to filter out particular words. It looks like someone has written a script to make multiple requests to your server using porn urls as the referrer. I've had a similar problem in the past. Possible solutions... 1. Look through the web server log to find what ip is making the requests (hopefully not spoofed), then blacklist it. Be careful that your not blacklisting something big like an isp's gateway or entire net block. 2. Remove the trash from awstats data files. In the data directory, look for this month's file (usually awstats102003.txt). Inside the data file, you will find a section that starts with "External page referrers - Pages - Hits".
