webalizer not working

[Chrysalis]

a customer of mine reported webalizer isnt working and sure enough I get this when I click the link.

File does not exist



Details

You must wait for the stats to be computed. This will only happen *after* logs exist (domain must resolve and be used)


so I checked /usr/local/bin/webalizer and it was -x so I set it +x.

Now I dont know how webalizer works, if its a daemon continously running or if it runs on intervals but when I tried to run it I got this.

Webalizer V2.01-10 (FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9) English
Using logfile STDIN (clf)
Creating output in current directory
Hostname for reports is 'air861.hostingfreak.net'
History file not found...

and it just stuck there forever until I did ctrl-c.

any idea what to do?

It is run by cron every 24 hours along with the nightly tallies.

Attempt running the following command from the console:

30 0 * * * root echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

If that does not work I would try recompiling webailizer and gd

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build update
./build gd

./build webalizer

its working now I didnt need to run that command I guess after I set the +x I just needed to wait for the next cron to run.

thanks
