Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-expand-tabs-free domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Why don’t my referers and searches show in webalizer?

Jul 18, 2023 | Linux-fully-managed-dedicated-server-plans

To provide the referring agents and the search terms used in search engines to find your site (such as Google or Yahoo), you will need to change the Log format for your Linux web server. The Log format is what determines what information is available for webalizer. The proper log format is as follows: LOGFORMAT “%h %l %u %t “%r” %>s %b “%{Referer}i” “%{User-Agent}i”” combined To update this, follow these steps:

  1. FTP to your server.
  2. Proceed to the /www/conf/ directory.
  3. Download the httpd.conf file in ASCII mode.
  4. Open the httpd.conf file in a simple text editor, such as Notepad, or vi.
  5. Once open, find the Virtual Host block at the bottom of the file that you wish to have this feature added to.
  6. Insert the line anywhere in that entry between the AND tag, but after the ServerName and ServerAlias entries.
  7. Then, add a line in the block that looks like this: CUSTOMLOG logs/virtualhost.com-access_log combined
  8. Save the file on your workstation.
  9. Rename the httpd.conf file on your server to ensure you have a backup. Something like httpd.conf.bak- where is today’s date.
  10. Upload the new httpd.conf file to the /www/conf directory.
  11. Test the changes by going to your favorite search engine and finding your site. Click through the link and then run webalizer to ensure you have the Total (or Top) Referrers and Total (or Top) Search Strings.
