LinuxNovice.org: Web Server Statistics with Webalizer

[ Thanks to Chris
Moewes for this link. ]

“Webalizer is a free web server log analyzer. It provides
very detailed traffic report that can help webmasters understand
where their traffic is coming from and where it is going. Webalizer
generates reports in both table format and graphical, making
it a tool useful for system admins as well as business
managers.”

“As with most programs for Linux, you have several options for
installing Webalizer. From the Webalizer’s download page you can
get the source code in tar/gz format, as well as precompiled
binaries for different unixes and even DOS/Windows. Your other
alternative, and possibly your easiest, is to download the RPM
package (if you system supports RPM).”

“Webalizer is designed to be used with most any log file, but
works out of the box with apache/ncsa style web log files… The
primary configuration file for webalizer is located at
/etc/webalizer-conf, however you can place this file anywhere you
want and specify via the command line which file to use. I
personally reccomend placing the webalizer configuration file in
the same location as your apache config files for consistency.”
