Upgrade information for The WebDruid 0.5.3 This document is for people in a hurry, who want to upgrade their system to the latest version of The WebDruid without read the entire manual :-) For the others who want to learn a bit more about what they can do with the webdruid, they should definately read carefully the README file. You must follow instructions in the appropriate sections below. Let's suppose you have release A, and want to upgrade to release C. You must follow steps in 'Upgrading from A to B' AND 'Upgrading from B to C'. * UPGRADING FROM WEBDRUID 0.5.2 TO 0.5.3 Nothing required. * UPGRADING FROM WEBDRUID 0.5.1 TO 0.5.2 Nothing required. * UPGRADING FROM WEBDRUID 0.5.0 TO 0.5.1 The WebDruid 0.5.1 uses True Type fonts to draw its strings on the charts. You should install the FreeType2 font rendering library, and make sure that the gd library is built with FreeType2 support, otherwise compiling the WebDruid will fail. You should also download and install the FreeFonts package in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/ (See INSTALL for where you can get these fonts). * UPGRADING FROM WEBALIZER 2.01-10 TO WEBDRUID 0.5.0 Important note : if you're trying to upgrade and are using the webalizer for http proxy or ftp calculations, you'd better stick with your current version of the webalizer, as the webdruid doesn't support those formats anymore!! Many things have changed, but don't worry!! Only a miminum pain is required to upgrade: Here is what you need to check (in the order): - Executable names has changed, so that both the webdruid and the webalizer can be installed easily on the same computer. You should check your scripts and replace the executable name. webalizer is now ... guess ..... webdruid ! :o) webazolver is now ... guess ..... webdruid-resolve (OK - this one whas not that easy... ;-) ) - If you're using the default /etc/webalizer.conf, move it to /etc/webdruid/webdruid.conf - The following keywords have been removed : HistoryName and IncrementalName If you did use the HistoryName previously, you should move your history file to the output directory, and rename it 'webalizer.hist' - The search engines support has been completely rewritten. As such the SearchEngine keyword is not used anymore. If you used this keyword, this time you should definately see README. - If you are using incremental mode, the data format for the webdruid 0.5.0 is incompatible with previous versions, so you should re-process from the beginning of the month, or better, switch to this new release at the very beginning of a new month. THE LATTER MEANS THE LAST RECORD PROCESSED BY WEBALIZER MUST BE AS CLOSE TO THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH AS POSSIBLE. - To take full power of the webdruid, you may consider to install the graphviz package (http://www.graphviz.org). In fact we just use the 'dot' utility. It will allow you to produce nice graphics showing you what people tend to do on your site.
