webalizer config issues

[unix1adm]

I have been trying to configure webalizer on a centOS 5.5 system.

I did the yum install and I found this helpful link...


http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...11-161368.html

However when I try to change the dir it puts the info into, it keeps giving me an error cannot cd to the directory.

I changed the /etc/webalizer.conf file as described in the above article and try to run it manually same results.

/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer
Error: Can't change directory to /home/webalizer/

When I put the original dir back in the path it writes to /var/www not /var/www/output like it should.

I even tried a local /var/wwww/output dir. Then I tried a link to /home/webalizer/output (a dir I created) and same results.

(with orginal .cfg in place)
I go to my www page remote or on the local network I get page not found errors.

http://mysite.com/webalize or 192.168.1.80/webalizer page not found.

In summary.
1. Why wont the /etc/webalizer.cf file allow me to change the location of the files?
2. How do I display the www page to view the data?
3. How can I secure the www page so only I can view the data.

just saw this in my email too :

header info deleted...


/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer:

Error: Can't change directory to /home/webalizer
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Current logging target is:
`- SYSLOG

edit: i should also mention SeLinux is in permissive mode not enforcing while i am testing this.

I did a clean install with and without webmin to the default locations.
Says its installed. Run the script but still cannot display the information.
webalizer screens wont disply when I go to my ip/webalizer or usage or localhost/webalizer or usage.

I have read and read and this default config should work.
I dont see any errors on the system.

I tried to move the files under /var/www/html/usage as that is my current document root. By default it puts them in /var/www/usage

I even tried a link to the dir and the files are created and in the usage dir so I know the command is doing something.

wow no comments on this at all. I guess I look for a better solution
