Attention Techno geeks:

My cheapo stats program went bad on June 28th.
Stats are here (http://www.ifish.net/logs/)
I rely on these to sell advertising, which makes a big difference in keeping ifish afloat.
I wrote my sys admin and he said:

The logfile passed 2gig and reached the max file size limits. :-(
<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">So.... Does anyone know a good stats program that helps me display my stats to others who would like to place ads on ifish?

We run on linux, so we can't do any windows based programs like what Bob uses at PP.
(webtrends, I think...)

Please e mail me if you have any suggestions.

Superstats is what I originally had, but they went to a "pay" program, and started charging me 250 a year, and 250 a month, since there is so much traffic here to be 'Statted"!
YIKES! I can't afford that!
So, I'm too poor to get a good stats program, and I need the stats to sell ads.... What a pickle!

According to the Webalizer home page (http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/) there is no log file maximum size in the software. I'm not expert with this package but I'm seeing something about "Incremental Processing" of logs that might fix your problem. Here's the quote from the site:
"Simply put, this allows processing large log files by breaking them up into smaller pieces, and processing these pieces instead."<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Have your sysadmin look into this feature of the software. It is possible that this will fix your problem. Webalizer is a great product that should take care of your web stat analysis needs.

My linux domain host uses this software.

FYI, 1 Euro = 0.987354 USD when figuring out that product that Waiteman listed.

The cheap fix would be to have a reminder in a calendar to remind you every month or 6 months or whatever. Then just rename the status file to another name and save it. That way the file size won't reach the 2gig OS limit. Draw back would be processing all those files for your reports.
