Hello everyone,

Since there are alot of people asking for it, here is my HowTo about mod_ruid2
This is based on my CentOS server with Apache 2.x.

Installing this module its no longer needed to chmod config files to 666 or upload/attachments directories to 777. Since with this module enabled everything @ HTTP will run under the user itself and not ‘apache’ anymore.

As you know, Webalizer stats are usually updated once a day, when using a Directadmin server. What to do, if you need more current stats? Here are some solutions (work good for me on CentOS 5).

If you need to update all server accounts, just type in the following command as root:

echo "action=tally&value=all" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

In order to update stats for a single domain, here is another command:

/usr/bin/webalizer -p -n |DOMAIN| -o /home/|USER|/domains/|DOMAIN|/stats /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log

Just replace |USER| with domain username and |DOMAIN| with domain itself and have fun!

Apachetop watches a logfile generated by Apache (in standard common or combined logformat, although it doesn’t (yet) make use of any of the extra fields in combined) and generates human-parsable output in realtime.
