Hi Joel: I have read the manual and also found the config file to modify.
I have some questions see below under [Louis]. Anyone else, feel free to answer them as well. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joel Heenan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2003 09:34 > To: Net Business International; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [SLUG] Questions about AWStats Logs !! > > > > > > > > > > > Issue 4: > > > > ========== > > > > Cron scripts that accesses web pages not via browser but > > > command line. > > > > Does AWStats count stats for this as hits and logged them as > > > > Unique Visitors for host that resolve to the domain > name where the > > > > cron is executed ? > > > > > > By default they are included.

[Louis] My objective here is first to have AWStats stop counting hits fron cron jobs. For each web site on the server, do I enter the IP address of the server itself in each site AWStats config file or do I enter the IP address of the site hostname in SkipHosts in each site AWStats config file? [Louis] Most of the hits from the Hosts (Top 10) section of AWStats is from my ISP as a result of the activities I do regularly on the server. I don't want AWStats to look at my ISP IP period. The ISP IP is dynamically allocated. So do I just enter say the top 2 level only, i.e xxx.xxx.ignore.ignore Where xxx.xxx is the part I enter ? [Louis] I have other questions from AWStats log display. With the "Connect to site from" section of AWStats: 1. the part "Links from an Internet Search Engine", the data is provided in two parts, i.e - engine Pages/Hits 1.1- What does Hits mean here ? Does it mean the no. of times Search Engine spidered the site ? 1.2- What does pages viewed means here ? Does it mean total pages that the Search Engine spidered on the site ? 2. the part "Links from an external page", sometimes I see pages from the site itself listed in this section. How can that be ?
