Just installed webalizer on my system and read the man page. Started webalizer and got the message that it did not find a file named dns_cache.db This file should contain theDNS cache? Have no idea how to produce such a file. Does somebody have a sample dns_cache.db?

There is no sample file it is created by having bind installed/running even if only in caching mode. It is a dynamic file, not static. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Dear Ken, Bind is installed and I have no idea if it is running. But as I recall, going on the net via adsl I am using dns. What is the command for running bind and how can I check if bind runs?

rcnamed status will show if it is running. You are probably using the DNS servers of your ISP and not your own. I just searched on my system for the file and found it here: /var/log/apache2/webalizer/dns_cache.db Perhaps try running webalizer again and see if you get the error. I have seen in the past were a program looks for a file and doesn't find it an error is reported when the program should simply create the file. If you still get the error try: rcnamed start and then run webalizer again and see if you get the error. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Thanks. That did it. rcnamed status reported just "dead" And after rcnamed start webalizer started working.
