Re: [Summary-Talk] Re: cleaned out log files

[Webit <webit@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tried to restore the backup database, but summary prompts me for a
registration code, stating that the free demo code expired 24 days
ago, so i don't think it loads the old database, so i put in my paid
registration code to get by that window
and then have to process summary, but still summary can only read off
the access_log when processing and that only has the 7 days worth. Is
there a way around getting summary to accept a past 30 day free demo
code to get at the old database restoring?

the only thing there is access_log. I wonder if my Alexa rank will be
effected by this
, I mean if my logs show now 100,000 hits instead of 2 million lets
say, i may drop fast in the ranks
