---## Site Usage Statistics

   * You can automatically generate usage statistics for all webs. To enable this:
      * Make sure variable =$doLogTopicView, $doLogTopicSave and $doLogTopicUpload= in =wikicfg.pm= are set. This will generate log entries in file =twiki/data/log&lt;date&gt;.txt= .
      * Topic WebStatistics must be present in all webs where you want to have statistics. You can use the topic in the Main web as a template.
      * Call the =twiki/bin/statistics= script from a cron job, once a day is recommended. This will update the WebStatistics topics in all webs.
      * __Attention:__ The script must run as the same user as the CGI scripts are running, which is user =nobody= on most systems. Example crontab entry: <br> =0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/TWiki/bin; ./statistics &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1)=
      * There is a workaround in case you can't run the script as user =nobody= : Run the utility =twiki/bin/geturl= in your cron job and specify the URL of the =twiki/bin/statistics= script as a parameter. Example: <br> =0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/TWiki/bin; ./geturl mydomain.com /urlpath/to/TWiki/bin/statistics &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1)=
      * The =twiki/bin/statistics= script can also be executed as a CGI script, just enter the URL in your browser. Examples:
         * Update current month for all webs: <br> =http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics=
         * Update current month for Main web only: <br> =http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics/Main=
         * Update January 2000 for Main web: <br> =http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics/Main?logdate=200001=
