snowjay Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Hi, I am a user from Sydney, and I've recently moved hosts from an Australian server to TCH. It always confuses me when reading awstats now that the server-time is no longer local time for me. Is there a way to offset the time differences so awstats will display in local time for me? (GMT+10) I've read through the .conf file but couldnt find anything to change there. Thanks. Quote
Virtual Imager Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I read that AwStats has a plugin called Timezone... I'm not sure it will address the time of report given, but you might want to check it out. VI Quote
ThumpAZ Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I do believe that the time stamp on the log file is placed as local server time, and the Timezone plugin is just for viewing in the web interface and has no affect on the raw logs you can download. I will ask the other mods about this, but maybe one will peek in here and give you a more firm answer before I get back. Quote
MikeJ Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) I'm not intimately familiar with all of the AWStats configuration options, but as these are shared resources, I don't see any way to have awstats display different timezones based on domains as I take a cursory look through it. About the only way I think you could really do that is to grab the raw log files, and use a local log analysis program that would adjust the times for you. Maybe that would be a good feature request for a future version of AWStats. Btw, VI, the only timezone plugin I found for AWStats is only to correct a timezone issue with a processing a certain Microsoft IIS logformat. Edited May 4, 2004 by TCH-MikeJ Quote
Virtual Imager Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah... I wasn't sure it would address this issue... just remember seeing something about timezones and thought it might be worth a look by snowjay. Oh well... Quote
snowjay Posted May 4, 2004 Author Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks for the pointers everyone I'm surprised there wasn't a quick fix for it as I'm probably not the only one who has come across this problem before! Quote
TCH-Dick Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) The following is from Awstats page on SourceForge. # Plugin: TimeZone # Perl modules required: Time::Local # Allow AWStats to correct a bad timezone for user of some IIS that use # GMT date in its log instead of local server time. # This module is useless for Apache and most IIS version. # This plugin reduces AWStats speed of 40% !!!!!!! Plugin provided with AWStats (5.1+) Edited May 4, 2004 by TCH-Dick Quote
