Hello there - I work for a web dev company in Scotland and we are having some Urchin issues. Our previous hosting comany ran Urchin for us but on our new setup this has been left to us. No on here is too experienced in the system and we are looking for someone who could help us get it nailed, for cash of course.

I would be keen to hear from anyone with good experience - your input would be
a lifesaver for us and greatly aprpeciated.

Thanks in advance

Urchin is realy a pretty simple install. it can realy be done by following this post:

Thnak you for your reply there mate. I have spoken to my colleage who was working with this, apparently it is not so much Urchin as the log files that we have an issue with, he says that the current log file is fine for recent stats, but has gaps from 2004 in most of the profiles, I need to conjoin older files with current ones but the size of these is tremendous and we are having isses there.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Mark

Merging Data? Bloody easy, actually ... Go ahead and create the domain on the new server... For each domain on the old server:
CODE
cd /usr/local/urchin/data

tar zcf domain.tld.tar.gz */domain.tld
then on the new server
CODE
cd /usr/local/urching/data

tar zxvf /path/to/domain.tld.tar.gz

chown -R nobody:nobody *
Don't overwrite, and you should end up with all your old data, and the new data collected will be undisturbed. And if you're running Urchin as something other than "nobody," be sure and change that line.

You can copy it all en-masse if you want --- just tar up the /usr/local/urchin/data directory and unzip it to the new server, provided you've created all the old profiles already.
