It seems we have the problem of our access logs not rolling over, so they are maxing out our storage and we can no longer add anything to our site at www.vartanhopics.com

Can we delete these logs from our server ourselves, or is it something you have to do? Are these logs used in the Webalizer program? We need to get this off our site ASAP so we can update it!

Our sister site of www.vartanho.com also appears to have the problem of the logs not rolling over, but it hasn't maxed out our storage -- yet.

You can see a directory folder named logs and you can delete the old logs. There is another directory folder named etc that has webalizer.config which should stay. Until the recent webstats problem where the log would not rollover to October, there were webstats files that could be downloaded to your computer, then removed from your server. I used to clean them out on occasion, but it appears that PowWeb has done that for us. Normally, you would remove them yourself.

I didn't mean to be nosy, but I looked to see if your webstat logs were still there. You have logs as far back as Nov 2002, so you can download quite a bit to keep for yourself, then remove the logs. Keep files with the current month on the server.
