I know there is a way to display Webalizer stats to someone wanting to verify website stats, without having to login to cpanel.
Without simply doing a screen capture of the graphs, does anyone know how? someone told me if you can save as the html file and upload it to a public folder.
I haven't tried it yet.. too lazy True, but that doesnt make the stats very credible as the html can be easily edited? Im after something that can be produced on the fly but doesnt allow the user to login to cpanel, if thats possible. but what is credible then? Even if you have to login to get the stats, what makes that credible? All of webalizer are .html pages
What makes any webalizer credible is that they have access to the data and they can manually spot check the stats to prove it's accuracy. If you're using a Sphera platform, you should be able to configure and customize webalizer.cgi and webalizer.conf files.
