Migrating Apache2 Log Files<\/h1>\n

I got my second wind after successfully migrating the WordPress website and got to thinking about moving all the log files. I plan to keep all the stats I accumulated under the old domain and continue forward.<\/p>\n

After several failed attempts at migrating Webalizer I gave up and decided to look for  a more up to date log analyzer. I quickly found out my first choice, the “GoAccess” log analyzer, would not work for my purposes, so I started looking for something else and came across “AWStats”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moving On From Webalizer<\/h3>\n

Webalizer is like a trusted old friend. Webalizer has been running here for so long, I wondered how I’d ever get along without it. One look at AWStats and I was ready to switch. It makes Webalizer look like something from the Flintstones!<\/p>\n

AWStats<\/h3>\n

I was successful in transferring the log files from the old domain to the new domain. I was able to work it out after reading this article<\/a> and combining it with ideas presented in a second article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steps taken:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Delete all existing files in the AWStats DataDir  ‘\/var\/lib\/awstats’<\/li>\n
  2. Combine all my log files using the utility “logresolvemerge.pl” into one ‘masterlog’ file.<\/li>\n
  3. Temporarily modify awstats.conf to update from the ‘masterlog’ file.<\/li>\n
  4. Run the update.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Voila! The previous years logs were successfully imported into AWStats!<\/p>\n

    Next, I went back to the ‘awstats.conf’ file and set it to back to read the daily Apache2 access.log file<\/p>\n

    Log File \/ Domain Overlap<\/h3>\n

    The Apache server is still running on the old domain. I can see there are still some connections to it, so I put a redirect on the entry page<\/a>, and another redirect on my other high traffic page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Using redirects, we can ensure all clients using outdated bookmarks will be taken to the same page on the new server.<\/p>\n

    After this, the only connections I should see should be direct connections to old domain URL’s from stale bookmarks.<\/p>\n

    I plan to let the Apache servers overlap in operation for the remainder of the month of December (2018 for that matter). On January 1, 2019 I will take the old Apache server offline for good. By that time all the search engines should have my entire site indexed, and I hope to have AWStats completely tweaked out by then.<\/p>\n
