Re: Web Stats
A very good question, that I don't have a very good answer for. Most likely because they run at different times, tally differently and obviously one of them is missing some data (most likely awstats, as it's not like webalizer can 'fake' hits). Logfiles rotate nightly, perhaps awstats has missed a few logs before rotation or something along those lines.4dtv wrote:Why are the stats different between Webalizer and AwStats? Looking at January for example, Webalizer shows 4114109 hits, but AwStats shows 3726402. Webalizer shows 10868271 KBytes (over 10GB), and AwStats shows 8.45 GB.
Logrotate
OK, sounds like some lost data due to timing of log rotation. Here's a link that describes how to avoid this:

More Information
Actually, here's more information on the original question from AWStats FAQ:
