I bought a new web hosting plan with Lunar earlier this month. I noticed that the same day I bought the new plan, the Webalizer on my current plan stopped working. The Webalizer stats for the month of September are only for the first few days up until I ordered a new plan for a completely different domain name (not a subdomain). Also the access logs just keep building up on my current plan. The logs used to refresh daily, but if I try to download the recent access log, it will be for the entire month, rather than just 1 day. I guess the fact that the logs are just building up must have something to do with the Webalizer not recording new daily data. The Webalizer and logs work fine on my new Lunar account, it just stopped working on my original account. Also the chart that shows my monthly bandwidth also stopped recording data, so I have no idea how much bandwidth I have used this month. How can I get this stuff back? I never made any changes, they just stopped when I bought the new hosting plan which has nothing to do with my current plan. ***One other thing, on my bandwidth chart page my original date was always March 2007, when I opened the original account with you, however there is one monthly bandwidth chart that got added right before March '07, and it says December 1969 and it says that my site had a very small amount of bandwidth that year. I don't think the internet was even around back then.

On this issue, you will want to submit a ticket to support, either by emailing support@lunarpages.com or via support.lunarpages.com Make sure to provide your primary domain name, and username, and we can get the webstats "kicked" (as some of us call it) to get them processed, as well to look into the date issue. Feel free to include the URL to this forum, or include your initial post here into the message to support. Also, a little bit of trivia since you said "....December 1969 ... I don't think the internet was even around back then." "Many people think that the Internet is a recent innovation, when in fact the fundamental ideas behind the Internet have been around for over a quarter century. The development of what we now call the Internet started in 1957 when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first satellite, beating the United States into space. The powers behind the American military at the time became highly alarmed as this meant that the USSR could theoretically launch bombs into space, and then drop them anywhere on earth. In 1958 the concerns of people in the US military triggered the creation of the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

It may/may not, it would probably be best if you were to contact support to have it kicked, however if you can post your primary domain name here, I may be able to take a look at it.

Mitch or Troy, the issue did not fix itself when the new month began, my stats are still just all combined into one and have stopped showing as individual days since last month. Can I PM you my domain info to see if you can kick them back or do I need to get a ticket number? thanks

More then likely, you would be better off submitting a ticket, as this will allow a "history" to be seen if the issue does not resolve the first time its kicked.

Also, a little bit of trivia since you said "....December 1969 ... I don't think the internet was even around back then."
Didn't you know that Al Gore invented the Internet? And John McCain invented the Crackberry? As for the OP's "December 1969" date, you see that when the timestamp has a value of 0. The "Unix Epoch" started counting seconds at midnight on 1 January 1970, and will roll over in about 30 years (32 bit signed integer). By that time we'd have to be on 64 bit machines and/or treat the value as an unsigned integer. The first will give us time until the Sun goes Red Giant, the second will give us another sixty-odd years on 32 bit machines. No one has ever explained to me why "0" seconds is the last second of 1969 and not 00:00 on 1/1/1970, but that seems to be the way it is -- a sure sign that a bogus (uninitialized) value is being stored for the timestamp.

Uh, men may be from Mars and women may be from Venus, but no, I've never gone by that handle!

Here is the response I got from tech support:
"Typically, webalizer only updates when the server is idle or has a very light load. This is because the automatic update that webalizer uses can be very resource intensive on the servers."
He also gave me some links to download webalizer. Really the main problem I am having is that if I download my web logs it will take a lot longer now because I am downloading the logs from September 4th, all combined into one. After so many months/years the log file will be so large that it will take forever to download. What should I do now?

Hi,
There is a back log limit on webalizer, the reason being that you are looking at resource usage of a server. Being on a shared server environment, you would also have to look at the equation of other accounts needing the server resources as well.
This would also depend on how many years back you have back logged your webstats.
You can have older ones cleared out if you want, which will likely resolve the issue.
How far back does your webstats go?

I have had this particular account with you since March 2007. It still records my web stats, its just that when I download the access logs it used to just be the last 24 hours worth, but since they stopped refreshing everyday, when I download the log it is all the stats from September 4th, 2008. Eventually that will just take too long to download the access log after so many months of building up. When I look at my bandwidth page that shows each month, a new one popped in before March 2007, it says "December 1969" but doesn't really have any data on it. But since that log from 1969 showed up it stopped putting my monthly stats in webalizer, and stopped refreshing the access log to where I could no longer just download yesterday's stats on the most recent log. How can I delete old stats? Especially that one from 1969? Thanks
