Hey guys.. I've recently started posting AVS Sites... and every click can be the good one, so I don't wanna use those click magnet stat prog like sextracker and sexlist...

so I was wondering what good Server Side Stats prog could do me well...


I right now use analog... but I'd need to have the refferer stats..

Best would be to get the # of hit for the several html files, and then the refferers for THAT html file for example..

if anyone know anything doing that, let me know please.

Hey Mag, i use paycounter now on all my sites, dont make much but you can manage 100 sites one page with easy as pie to read stats. if you dont like any counter on your site you can use one that all these bbs sites use called beseen.com i think is the name, or you can install many cgi counter stat programz.

icq me if you need to need to find a cgi stats program, as i found a really great one for $40 US.

Yep I also suggest wusage. It's the best one out there and you can customize everything. It's fairly priced too http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

yeah, I need it server side, no button on the page.. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif


Wusage, I had... but it doesn't work with my load...

it would always stop working after a few days... it doesn't like my 4.4Million requests I get sometimes... http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

maybe it's just with their version....

you guys run it smooth with over 40gigs/day?

I have found that wusage chokes on large stats files. Their are several ways to get around this. I run stats twice daily (noon and midnight). In the script I is use I am actually moving the current stats file to a backup copy then running stats on that file. Also I have disabled the weekly and monthly combined stats (personal choice daily stats are enough reading http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif ). This is running on stats files generated from about 15gigs per day. You can also archive the stats files after wusage runs ie...renaming the stats file to access_log.0116 (the appended extension can be created by the script so that it changes daily .0116 .0117 etc.). I like the stats generated by wusage and it just needs tweaking http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif.
I definitley recommend wusage!

Wusage is really good but it's true if you have very big logfiles it might take a few days to work through them http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
My record is at 6 days for one 'daily' run of wusage.
But since I tweaked it and removed all unnecessary stats like yearly, summary etc it's run quite fast.
Just never run it on a busy logfile!! Always copy the logfile, do a cat /dev/null on it and run it on the copy. Otherwise it would run till Doomsday http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

If you've at least 256MB (with 40GB / day / virtual server of course more... I'd say 1024MB+)wusage should not make any problems.

actually, I am that type of guy that knows enough of unix to get arround with basic stuff like checking the load, copying files, adding new users, changing ownership, making symlinks, etc...

so I don't really know about hwo to manage the logs..

I leave that to the techs... I'll see if they can't fix something for me..

What I really need is

1- bandwith used by files,
2- number of hits to html files
3- refferers

so all the ip shit, I don't need that really...

so coke, what did you leave OUT?

here's a cut & paste from my stats script.
cp logs/access_log logs/accesslog
rm logs/access_log
rm logs/error_log
mv logs/accesslog logs/accesslog.`date %m%d%H` (%m is the 2 digit month 01, %d is the day, %H is the hour in 24 hour format).

I'm like you I know enough to be dangerous in unix/linux. However I'm learning more every day as about 40% of our servers at work are linux, so I have to keep them running as well http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
I had a problem where my stats weren't generating because of large log files so I had to figure a way to keep them under control and still keep the stats generating.
I'm sure you could find another program to do the trick, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better one. Also where you already have used wusage it may go easier for you to stay with it. It will provide the information you are looking for.

Hope this helps
Eric
