Hey! I have been working extremely hard on this software, and I would like some comments/suggestions on both the software and the site that tells about the software.  Please make it all constructive, as it is still deeply in development. It is an on going project that I am extremely proud of. So you don't have to download the software, I have installed a demo for you to see it in action. I have, for reasons of my own, disabled the Ban IP feature. You can view banned IP Addresses, you can go through the process of banning an IP address, and you can go through the process of unbanning an IP Addresss, but neither the banning or unbanning features will work.  Sorry  :-\

Well, I guess I will turn it lose.  I still have a couple more things I want to add to the site, but right now so long as the site displays news, demo, features, and a place to download, I want to put my full force into the software.  Myself and a few other people have installed it, and tested it, and we have fixed the few bugs found and I am working on adding many many new features into the next release.

Its ok - useful. But I would like a little more in it.

I take it you dont have any plans to integrate site-editing via a backend - to edit pages etc?

Taking it as a purely management and admin backend - I would like to see failed login attempts (to go with your bans - because how do you know what ip to ban). Also you got my ip address wrong. I use a proxy. However my ip address can still  be gotten (even from behind the firewall). My proxy server sends out a "Forwarded For IP". Maybe something to look into. There are a couple of 1000 ppl using this proxy. If you ban the proxy - you ban 999 legimiate ppl -)

I would also like to see more stats of Mysql, e.g. uptime etc. connections etc.

The ban works site wide, not just software wide.  If you put a ban in, then you ban people from your entire site.  I am currently working on adding in functionality to grab the forwarded ip address, if your behind a proxy. It will be featured in the next minor release along with a couple fix ups.  I have also added in some more MySQL features, such as displaying the overhead and the ability to clean up overhead on each table.

Thanks for the critique.  I will also look into adding a bit more to the mysql info, and i have some other features I am coding that I think people will like/find useful.

Just a thought. Maybe you could create small bits of code in there to be used as a 'hit count'. For instance, a project I'm working on requires a hit count and amount of people that registered after coming to the site. I completely forgot to ignore bots that come in so theres probably a few hundred hits on this site that are from bots alone. If I had something like this to use I could just find hits from actual people and could use the "url" section to determine if they registered.

Just an idea. Other than that, it looks pretty good to me.

Okay.  So I have this added into the next release. A hits table with a row count, that counts only visitors.  From the Visitors Logs, you can order the logs by URL instead of date, and see how many people went to the register url, and on the Hit Counter you will get a total amount of people that hit the site.  I am also making it where you can view total hits or hits by date.

True. But then you get people that don't know much about installing webalizer. Main reason is it deals with the Apache Logs instead of custom logs.  Even more so, is that even when webalizer comes custom installed not all hosts offer things like CPanel and not everyone can afford CPanel.  So this is my free, easy to install, service to the community.

Well webalizer does not need to be installed - its just a set of scripts. You can actually manually grep out the required logs out of apache's main access log (actually this is all webalizer does). And also - as apache stores all logs (short of logs taken with javascript), why store logs again - when its done for you. Anyhoo - webalizer is very simple really IMO.

Anyhoo - of course I do see your approach - simple and lightweight - no work to install, config etc etc.
