It's main feature is an ability to discover visitor's country by his/her IP address. Default Webalizer method is to extract host suffix from the reversal DNS query (obtained directly from log files, or by <code>webazolver</code> program if HTTP server doesn't reverses client IPs), which is slow and imprecise (for example, Brazilian host could be reversed as <code>.com</code>). Geolizer relies on the <a href="http://www.maxmind.com/app/ip_locate" target="_blank">GeoIP</a> library API to do the same thing. Thus, no more DNS queries are required, and results are much more precise. Geolizer also has some additional features: it displays file sizes in a human-readable form (<i>bytes/KB/MB/GB/TB</i>) instead of default kilobytes. It also compiles under <a href="http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml" target="_blank">MinGW/MSYS</a> now, so you can process your UN*X log files on your Windows box<code>. </code>And, finally, Geolizer features a nice eye-candy: country flags! <code><img src="misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" /></code></p> <p>Beware as Geolizer also has some bad features (read "bugs"): for example, <code>webazolver</code> won't work anymore, and already resolved hosts aren't handled well. Want to see how it looks like, at all? Take a look at some <a href="http://sysd.org/hybrid/stats/" target="_blank">sample statistics</a>! Or see <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=link:sysd.org/stas/node/10" target="_blank">who else</a> uses Geolizer to produce their server stats. </p> <h3> <b>Tips</b></h3> <ul> <li>The country flag pictures can be downloaded at <a target="_blank" href="http://flags.blogpotato.de/">http://flags.blogpotato.de/</a>. Just download and unzip <code>world.small.zip</code> &amp; <code>special.small.zip</code> to the <code>flags/</code> subdirectory in your HTML output path.</li> <li>You may enhance your Webalizer further (allowing it to identify more user agents, referrers and search engines than normal) using extended configuration files, provided by Enric Naval and available at <a target="_blank" href="http://griho.udl.es/webalizer/">http://griho.udl.es/webalizer/</a>.</li> <li>It is possible to use multiple configuration files on Webalizer. Just specify them at the command line:<br> <pre>webalizer -c common.conf -c user_stas.conf<br></pre> </li> <li> Why don't you try also <a href="http://awstats.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">AWStats</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.projet-webdruid.org/" target="_blank">WebDruid</a>?! </li> </ul> <p> <hr> It is easy to located an <a href="http://www.connectedinternet.net" target="_blank">internet service</a> which provides low prices for <a href="http://www.callage.net" target="_blank">voip</a>. Simply by downloading the <a href="http://www.softwareconnects.com" target="_blank">software</a> the service of the <a href="http://www.hostseeq.com/c/internet_phones.htm" target="_blank">voip</a> can be utilized, though for this a fast <a href="http://www.wirelessnetproviders.com" target="_blank">wireless internet</a> is also required. This is especially benefical for small <a href="http://www.complete-website-hosting.com" target="_blank">website hosting</a> companies to contact their clients at a low cost. </p> addon C database GeoIP network opensource software web Tue, 16 Jan 2007 15:00:00 -0200
