I look after a number of sites and monitor their stats. We use both webalizer and AWSTATS so we can have a comparison. Up until recently the stats for both of them where relatively the same, webalizer usually showing higher numbers as it doesn't filter bots but the progression of increase and decrease in stats was proportional. However, over the last few months a curious trend is appearing, the stats in AWSTATS are decreasing every month whereas the stats in Webalizer are increasing, the gap between them now is huge.
Below are some results from various stats programs from one day's activity on our site. webaliser and awstats give sort of similar results (although still 6400 pageloads difference), but these results differ so much from what google (analytics) says.
can anyone think of an explanation for this? does google have a different definition of a visit compared to webaliser and awstats? for these latter two is visits = hits?
does anybody know if there is a possibility to circumvent godaddy´s pathetic stats they offer on shared accounts?
-I am not quite sure what tells you the unique visitors (always a good one to know )
-It doesn´t tell you what robots crawl your site. It just says: robots 28 (great!)
-The graphs are all reversed. Meaning that the now date is always on the very left hand corner of the x-axis towards the 0 intersection. This is pretty pathetic as it goes against anything human brains are accustomed to.
I´ve got to stop venting now. I would appreciate if somebody knows where I can find the unique visitors (hosts served maybe?) and how I can install a better stats program on Linux shared hosting at go daddy.
When I go through my AWStats under "Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines)" I see several domains that have linked to me. When I visit these sites they are generally porn and drug sites that do not contain a link. Some of the sites redirect you to other sites. When you look up these domain names they are all from Russia.
These sites account for mulitple hits as high as +14.5%. These sites do not represent the content on my sites.
My questions are.
How do I stop this? I have found banning IP addresses does nothing.

Stats are not updating for this account. I ran this twice, keeps getting stuck at this line forever..
Recently started using HAProxy for load balancing / failover, and have the usage down. But, no matter how much I search I can't find one simple thing...
Anyone know of a way to customize the status page?
Seems to be a directive actually in the binary...I can't find a conf, include, anything to pass any customization to it. I'm talking about the /haproxy?stats URI.
I've a few similar video sites and haven't noticed much difference over the years with their stats. They usually average anywhere from 50-100mb downloaded per day.
Suddenly this month, one site is practically going off the scale...600-700mb...up to 1gb downloaded per day...I'm like...wtf?! The other site is reporting normal BW.
I'm using awstats with hotlink protection enabled.
I thought i may as well post this here having already contacted my host. Just thought you knowledgable people may be able to give me some insight to this?
Well i am creating a sub-domain, and i obviously have site stats with AWStats for my primary domain name. If i was to create a sub-domain say example.sitename.com would i still receive the site stats for the sub as well as the primary one? Anyone had any experience on this?
as midphase are good but generally take ages to get back to me and their response are rather general,
I have a pretty active phpBB forum. I was looking at my stats today and I notice some strange referrals. I checked it out and it and it is a bunch of spam sites. But with a link to one of my threads in the bottom (different per spam site).
- The spam sites have nothing related to my content - The link to the threads in my forum has no relation to each other. - Out of all the sites to put, why mine? My forum is not a very very popular forum.
I can post the link if it will better understand the above situation.
I just like to know why and what purpose does it serve? Also is it bad for me? As it is a spam site is linking to my forum. I dunno if search engines will think my site is a spam site as well.
My current "manager" it his all "great time" couldnt fix irt whole day so I am looking for experienced manager to check and fix my problem, let me know how much you charge per 1h and what's your experience,
I don't like having to come here for help, but I'm stumped on this one and my server tech isn't really helping - perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious. I have an addon domain on which stats are not updating. As of the 11th of this month, the site had over 1.2k uniques and right around that time we did a server move (on the 10th so it may have started then).
It is only for this one addon domain that things aren't working. It registers 0 new anything since then with the exception of yesterday when my tech says he repeatedly refreshed the page and it registered a grand total of 2 uniques. Back to 0 again so far today. I know the site is getting traffic.
Secondly, Webalizer shows very minor traffic in its categories with numbers that remain in the low single digits.
I recently installed Urchin on a cPanel server (RHES 4), all sites got its profile added into Urchin database, but when I run urchin for 1 site manually, it freezes on 0% and processing... Logs files have 0644 as explained in google Urchin manual ...
Also, using IP:9999, and viewing the profiles and its stats show 0 stats generated, but going to www.site.com/cpanel, then to Webstats - Urchin, shows every day with graphs, everything is ok...
Does anyone know how to disable cpanel urchin access, and only use the IP:9999 access to manage and view all statistics...
But I'm not sure how much power it actually takes to generate theses MRTG stats... The server is a Celeron D 2.8Ghz, 512Mb ATA soft raid system. Do you think that I should update the stats less frequently to decrease the server usage?

Should I trust my host with providing correct BW stats? Is there any way I can confirm those stats? (I don't have any tracking software or log analyzer installed because it uses too much resources.) The log file is tiny. Probably no more than 12-24 hours logged.
IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email. This is cPanel stats runner on server.dealsreferals.com! While processing the log files for user stnudee, the cpu has been maxed out for more than a 6 hour period. The current load/uptime line on the server at the time of this email is 09:35:21 up 6 days, 22:32, 0 users, load average: 2.76, 19.13, 52.20 You should check the server to see why the load is so high and take steps to lower the load. If you want stats to continue to run even with a high load; Edit /var/cpanel/cpanel.config and change extracpus to a number larger then 0 (run /usr/local/cpanel/startup afterwards to pickup the changes).
I can't seem to solve, perhaps you could give me some pointers or tips on how to fix this.
All the cPanel stats programs (Awstats etc..) haven't been updated since the 17th June but when I login to WHM it says the stats have been updated (within the past 24 hours).
On the 17th June I moved my hosting operations from the USA to the UK onto a new webserver.
How can I make sure these statistic programs are updated and shown from cPanel, even though I can tell it to update via SSH (completes) and claims in WHM with no problems (updated with in 24 hours), the new stats still fail to appear.
My question is, are the visitors a day accurate - which I take to be uniques. It seems these must be pretty far off.
Presently they show an extremely high multiple of that for pages/s (approx 30 -50 times the visitors). I've never heard of visitors clicking this many pages.
I've not come across these kind of number with other non-mobile sites and it makes wonder if its right.
A) is tracking handled in the same way on mobile devices as on desktops (cookies or sessions?) And is this reliable for mobile/handheld/cell-phone devices?
B) There really isn't much of a chance of these page views being a result of bookmarks - the page views don't seem to add up to this.
The 'Browser Top 10' hits coming from 'unknown' are > 50% of the total amount.
Are there any quirks with awstats or other tracking software when it comes to mobile devices, even though the activity is taking place on the server? I take it Urchin may be more accurate?
I am moving a site from one provider to another. My client wants to keep the existing webalizer stats after the transfer. Could anybody help with how to do the transfer and to make webalizer continue working on the new server?
I have a webserver that our main two company websites reside on and this box also hosts ~50 other misc. websites. None of the websites on the server are very CPU intensive and bandwidth usage on the box is next to none.
Every morning around 4-6am the server takes forever to load anything. Seeing as this is when I do most of my work, I quickly become frustrated when trying to load our admin area, webmail, etc. Note that things do load, just very slowly...
I've contacted my tech a couple of times but he says this is normal as it's backups and stats running. I guess my question is, IS this normal? If so, is there a way to lessen the load at all?
