Again, 2gb limit size..

[fobicodam]

Ok, now i HAVE a problem... the same old f"·$)($" linux problem, how can it be that php cant open files bigger than 2gb ?!?!?!?! can anyone help me with that?? the log files are 4, 5, 9 Gb and webalizer cant open them !!!

Plus: cant you put some kind of error handling for this cases? one site has an error and no stats for anyone !!!

Thes solution will be that the php developers are dropping the 2 GB file limit, I really dont know why any other modern programming language except of php seems to support large files

The current workaround is to create daily logfiles, there must be some threads about that in the forum including some patching advice.

Yes, i guess i was the first to suggest the daily log file, but i have a BIG problem now, one site individual daily log is 4.2GB !!!

@Till: What about doing sth. like

head -2 web.log | tail -2
head -4 web.log | tail -2
head -6 web.log | tail -2
...

to read a file from shell blockwise via shell (here 2 lines) for each call

Run an hourly cronjob to check, parse and rotate

[fobicodam]

I asked for that a long time ago and everybody says it will corrupt the webalizer stats..

I've used it in the past with much success though, I'm not sure why it'd corrupt it.

Do you say i can run the "log/webalizer" scripts whitout problems every hour?!?!?!?

Sure, just setup the cron to:
webalizer,
logrotate (with -f)

It works fine here. You need to rotate the log out otherwise it may re-parse all the data.

Can you write here the exact config for cron?

thanks you.
