View Awstats logs saved to my hdd?

ashleyxcore · December 2nd, 2007, 1:51 AM

I want to delete the awstats folder because it's taking up space, can I do that safely? I would like to do a backup first, but is there a way I could view the Awstats on my computer instead of online after I backup? I mean, is there a way to just download logs once a week and then delete it from the server, but be able to look at it on my computer just like I would through cpanel? I'm not sure if that's possible...

These stats go back a couple years so I don't want to just save them and not be able to use them... what would be the point?

The awstats directory really shouldn't be eating up much disk space, especially since the actual logs are rotated on a regular basis... How much is it using on your account?

There's no way that I know of to completely duplicate the logs and view them on your computer. If you want to save disk space, you can simply delete all the files in ~/tmp/awstats/ that match up to this filename: awstatsXXXXXXX.yourdomain.com.txt
