Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2002:254 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE : Updated Webalizer packages fix vulnerability 2002-04-17 04:00:00 UTC

Description Louis Aslett 2002-02-24 21:58:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010316

Description of problem:
Webalizer does not work properly "out-of-the-box".  Since RedHat defaults to
rotating Apache log files weekly, Webalizer only records at most a week at a
time in the reports it produces.  The Webalizer log file (/etc/webalizer.conf)
should have the line:

#Incremental     no

Set to:

Incremental     yes

for default installs.

Obviously this bug report is useless for RH7.2, but perhaps the default
/etc/webalizer.conf file should be changed for the next RH release to work out
of the box with RedHat's other settings.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install webalizer RPM
2.Leave Webalizer to analyze an active apache for over a month



Actual Results:  Notice that you only ever see a running week for each month.

Expected Results:  The whole month should remain stored in the webalizer summary
format, because it should be using the webalizer.current incremental file to
store the month-so-far info in.
