Installation of Webreport

1) Making the binary

type:
make webreport

This will compile the webreport.c file into a
webreport binary.

2) Installation
I usually put it in the /usr/local/bin directory

As root:
cp webreport /usr/local/bin
 
3) Configuration

Edit the webreport.conf file and then copy
it to /etc

By default, webreport looks in /etc/webreport.conf
for all the configuration information.

What is available for configuration in the
webreport.conf file? There are required lines
and optional values.

The required lines are:
------------------------------------------------------
stop_prog = program to run to stop the web server.
            This is normally "apachectl stop" for
            and apache server. 
I use:
stop_prog = /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop

------------------------------------------------------
start_prog = program to run to start the web server.

I use:
start_prog = /usr/loca/apache/bin/apachectl start

------------------------------------------------------
mail_prog = program to use for sending email reports

Most systems come with the "mail" command. I recomend
you use it. 

I use:
mail_prog = mail

------------------------------------------------------
log_dir = directory where all the logs go

This assumes you put all your logs in the same directory.
That's what apache does by default.

At the beginging of the month, webreport will automatically
delete your old web logs. It uses the log_dir line to
know which directory to delete lines from.

Basicly, webreport runs "rm -rf log_dir" 

I use:
log_dir = /usr/local/apache/logs

Optional configuration lines
