Traffic stats doesn't work

Hi all,

I've installed ISPConfig 3 days ago and traffic statistic doesn't work.

Apache log are splitted in daily files in /var/log/httpd but in the site's logdir, I see only error log and no directory "stats" under "web" (webalizer?)
Xferlog doesn't rotate.

crontab -e shows:

Code:

30 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/ftp_logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/mail_logs.php &> /dev/null
59 23 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/cleanup.php &> /dev/null
0 4 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.php &> /dev/null
0,30 * * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/check_services.php &> /dev/null
15 3,15 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/quota_msg.php &> /dev/null
40 00 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/traffic.php &> /dev/null
05 02 * * * /root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/backup.php &> /dev/null

And this is the web site's statistic page

Code:

Traffic overview (in MB):
Month Web FTP Mail Overall 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall: 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traffic in the last 4 years (in MB):
Year Web FTP Mail Overall 
2006: 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 
2005: 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 
2004: 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 
2003: 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 

Any idea?

 

Ok, all works fine now with theese simple commands:

Code:

/etc/init.d/cron stop
pkill cron
crontab -e

exit and save (with vi :wq)
and

Code:

/etc/init.d/cron start

But it's strange...

What could be happened?
Maybe a missing reboot after installation?

 

I have the same issue however when I edit and save my crontab it is empty... is this correct? I have followed the link you provided a few times over however I still have no stats? Any ideas?

 

You must run

Code:

crontab -e

as root!

 

So yeah... I failed to run it as root... did as it said and I have stats now when I view them through my login to ISPconfig... Do I need to create a folder to access these through the web as in www.mydomain.tld/stats ?

 

No, it's created automatically.

 

I dont want to be a pain really...

However it has been more than 36hrs since stats through the login screen have appeared and there still is no access through www.domain.tld/stats just a 404.

Is there a way I can manually run the script to create this dir?

Thanks again

 

And you're sure you ran

Code:

crontab -e

as root?

Run these commands:

Code:

/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php
/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/webalizer.php

 

When I run the first one I get

Code:

Warning: readlink(): Invalid argument in /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php on line 125

however the second one seems to run fine. And as for your first question I am sure I ran crontab -e as root.. when I did that it compiled stats that night and had not any prior nights.

Thanks

On a side note when I run crontab -e again and save it it asks what to save it as and provides

Code:

File Name to Write: /tmp/crontab.xaWBur/crontab

is this correct to save it as?

 

Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1942

 

In reply to which editor it opens in it opened with Nano. I try to sudo vi crontab and it tells me that it is creating a new file. Will I have to call the crontab from its home dir using vi?

 

Where does the crontab reside? I can save the output of nano to a dir, I guess I could over write the previous crontab.

 

Please run

Code:

crontab -e

as root, not with sudo.

 

I have since learned that sudo is not the same as root and I have enabled the root user in ubuntu. I followed the commands kill cron - edit crontab (Still with nano )- start cron then I ran those commands you gave me to manually run the cron... I still dont see stats but I am asuming that when all of the crons run at 04:00 (correct me if I am wrong) I should see the stats. Would changing my systems date and time temp allow the crons to run?

Again thanks for your help and being so patient.

 

That's right.

That should work.

 

So are there any logs that I can check to see why the stats are not available through www.domain.tld/stats I still get a 404 error and when I login using an ftp client I still do not see a stats folder. I am sure that I was root when I followed those cmds last time. Would it be worth while reinstalling webalizer or are there steps we can take before that?

Thanks again for your help,

 

When I login as root through putty and paste the first cmd I still get that error I previously stated, then I paste in the second cmd and it seems to run without any problems. However there is still no stats directory.
