[wplug] problem with apache log files and awstat

It's been nearly two years since I did this, but here's the relevant  
line from the config file:

LogFile="/[webroot]/cgi-bin/logresolvemerge.pl /[webroot]/Logfiles/* |"

(Replace [webroot] with your Linux flavor's preferred location, like / 
var/httpd/ for Red Hat.)

This lets AWStats run the analysis in one step from your raw logs  
with no merge files to clutter up your server.

I had a cron job that managed all of this on the first of each  
month.  It emptied the logfile directory, rsync'ed the previous  
month's logs from the main web server, then ran AWStats.  Easy, and  
simple to maintain.
