install and config weblizer on ubuntu

Install and configure webalizer on Ubuntu

  1. install webalizer
    sudo apt-get install webalizer
    If webalizer is not found, you have to add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list: can comment the universe sources.

  2. Enable the apache2 hostname resolution: go into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Change
    HostnameLookups Off
    into
    HostnameLookups On

  3. By default webalizer is not well configured: it does not check in the good log. In /etc/webalizer.conf: Change

    LogFile /var/log/apache2/access.log.1
    to
    LogFile         /var/log/apache2/access.log

  4. Test webalizer:

    sudo webalizer

    If you get a warning like warning: Truncating ...
    It is because you did not put the hostnameLookup. If afterward, you get this message, it can be because you are attacked by a virus...

  5. Run webalizer as a cronjob. This has to be run as root: Edit the root cronjobs by running the command:
    sudo crontab -e
    and add the line:
    0 * * * * webalizer
    With that line, every hour webalizer is run
