<pre>To see the logs for all the webpages on redbrick, 'ssh <strike>murphy</strike> pyg' and then look in '/var/log/apache2'. The logs are split up by year, date and type. So the access logs for the 8th of March 2008 would be found at '/var/log/apache2/2008/03/08-combined_log'. You can pipe any of the logs to 'grep /~username' to pick out information on your own page.</pre> | |||
If your using a vhost (i.e. your own web domain) on redbrick you won't be able to pick out hits to your domain using the grep method above. You should ask the admins to generate logs for your domain. Sometime in the future, the combined logs may be configured to handle these web domains. | If your using a vhost (i.e. your own web domain) on redbrick you won't be able to pick out hits to your domain using the grep method above.

Replace 'pathtotools' to point to where you installed the awstat tools directory. Be warned, this will slow down the update process by a few minutes. BTW, before 'logresolvemerge.pl' will run, you'll have to change the permissions to excutable, i.e. 'chmod 755 /pathtotools/logresolvemerge.pl'. | ||

(Rememeber this does not work for vhosts though you can write a script that combines vhost logs with these logs etc.) | ||
