borfast Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Hi everyone. I'd like to know if there's a way to access the raw log files through FTP instead of downloading the .tar.gz from Cpanel. I'm asking this because I got myself a nice program to generate statistics and it has the option of getting the log files through FTP, taking care of organizing them on my hard drive and deleting repeated entries, etc, etc... If this is not possible, is it possible to have the .tar.gz file sent to me automatically by e-mail every month, by using a cron job? Thanks in advance. Raul Quote
Jimmy Legs Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 go to the "Manage Accounts" thing under FTP on the control panel. it gives you FTP addresses to get your log files. i assum if you just copy the URL into your stats program it will work. i should probably try this myself. what stats app are you using?

borfast Posted March 2, 2003 Author Posted March 2, 2003 Great! It works! Thanks a million, Jimmy! As for the software, it's called Mach 5 FastStats Analyzer. A friend of mine told me about it and I fell in love immediately Give it a try - mach5.com As for the log files, how often do they get reset? Quote
borfast Posted March 3, 2003 Author Posted March 3, 2003 Could someone tell me how often the log files are reset? I would like to be able to download my full log files but when accessing them through CPanel, I only seem to have access to one day of logs... So I'm supposing the log files get reset every day, which will force me to download them every day, too... If this is true, is there a way to get them sent to me by e-mail every day before they are reset? Log files will be very important to me and I wouldn't want to miss some days because for some reason I don't download those days' log files... Thanks in advance. Raul Quote
ykwong Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 borfast, the log is reset at the end of each month. in cpanel, the filename is a bit misleading...actually the file you download contains logs for the first day of the month up to the moment the tar.gz is generated. Quote
borfast Posted March 4, 2003 Author Posted March 4, 2003 OK, that's great Thanks for clearing that up for me, ykwong Raul Quote
