Web Stats

[weide]

Hi, I have the Web Stats such as Analog and Webalizer.

For Analog, beside the report (.html) taking quite a number of space which can be deleted, how about cache, can it be deleted?

For Webalizer, there are a lot of core.(no) files, for eg. core.16520.. taking how around 300 kb of spaces.. there are like around 40 such files.. is it advisable to delete?

And is it possible to remove Webalizer and Analog from my CPanel? Im the end-user here.

Thanks.

weide,

You can ask your webhosting company to disable the stats, but it can't be done by you.

No, you can't disable it, but if your host allows cron jobs, you could set up a command to run every day after stats run through the cron config in cPanel that deletes your stat temp files.

rm -rf /home/username/tmp


Or just chmod 000 the tmp directory so the stats programs can't write to it. (they could change it back though) You can do that through the file manager or if you have shell access:

chmod 000 /home/username/tmp

so i can't delete the core files too that are taking around 10mb of space?

I don't see why not.

Do a search on core files, there is a thread with a couple files I uploaded to automatically find and remove these. I never tried them as a regular user however.

The core files (core dumps) are because Webalizer or stats crashed. If you have them there are others most likely on the server with the same. Better keep an eye on that problem. Just delete the things
