install and configure Webalizer

To install Webalizer open up a terminal and enter the following commands:

$ sudo aptitude update 

$ sudo aptitude install webalizer

Webalizer didn't work right away, so I found a fix for it.

Edit webalizer.conf with your favorite editor:

$ vi /etc/webalizer/webalizer.conf

Find the following:

LogFile /var/log/apache/access.log.1

I'm using apache2 so replace the line with:

LogFile /var/log/apache2/access.log

Save and exit.

To run webalizer, enter this command:

sudo webalizer

and then go to http://localhost/webalizer/


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 * * * * weblize
