39.6. Editing Global Options

Webalizer has a master configuration file named /etc/webalizer.conf that is used by the module if the Report options field is set to Use global options. It is also copied when you select Custom options to provide the initial settings for the per-log file configuration. Changing the global options afterwards, however, will have no effect on any logs that are already using their own configuration file.

If you only have one log file on your system that needs analysis, it makes more sense to use only the global webalizer.conf file instead of having one created just for the report on that log. And if you plan to set up reporting on multiple log files, you should edit the global Webalizer configuration first to provide a template from which the per-log configurations are copied. To edit it, follow these steps:

1.
On the module's main page, click on the Edit Global Options icon. Your browser will display an Options form similar to the one in Figure 39.3.

2.
Follow Steps 11 through 19 in Section 39.2 “Editing Report Options” to configure the appearance of all reports. The fields on this form have exactly the same meanings as those on the per-report options page.

3.
Click the Save button to update the configuration file with your changes.

If you are generating more than one report, it makes much more sense to set options for each individually. That way, you can set a different web server hostname for each so that the title and links to pages on each report are correct.
