DNS lookup

[jlshindley]

When I view my stats, site addresses are shown as numeric IP addresses. I would like to view them as domain names, without having to do a 'whois' to see who has visited my site. Is this possible? Thank you!

In your awstats.conf file, find the line that reads:

DNSLookup=0

and change it to:

DNSLookup=1

I'm sorry. I'm kind of new at this. Where would I go about finding the code that I'm supposed to edit?

[stevel]

As part of your setup for awstats, you are told to edit a file whose name ends in .conf - for example, awstats.www.yoursite.com.conf (or just awstats.conf works too). This has a long list of options, some you must edit, some you don't have to. This is one of them.

Actually, I've discovered I'm using webalizer, not AW stats. I'm guessing I'll have to do something different?

Oh, sorry. Webstats has been broken for so long, I had forgotten about it. See the topic at the top of this forum section. Awstats is much better than Webalizer's webstats.

Yeah, I'm definitely switching tonight. Thanks for your help. :-)
