Webalizer/Angolizer Geo IP Error Mesasge

[jamesuk]

Hi, I am trying to run a version of Webalizer called Angolizer, which has an up to date configuration file. I am trying to use Geo IP for resolving DNS.

I use the following bash command for processing multiple batch log files:

for i in $(ls /home/james/AMW/logs/access.log.*.gz) ; do angolizer -c /etc/angolizer/new_angolizer/angolizer.conf -W /etc/angolizer/GeoIP.dat -C 300 -p $i ; done

But I get a response like this:

Skipping bad record (823)

No valid records found!

And no output has been produced. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this or how I can resolve this?

Thanks,

These messages are normal, you can ignore them.

Hi Falko, thanks for letting me know that these messages are normal and I can ignore them. That's good to know. But my main problem is that using that command line with Geo IP no output is being produced at all, even if I specify an output line in that command.

I am very new to linux, and am looking at how I can get this working.

Thanks for you help,

James

Try to specify an output directory.
