Is there a way to clear out all usage information stored
on my web server?
Using IIS and FrontPage 2002 server extensions on a
Windows 2000 box. I am a newbie at web dev, sorry for any
ridiculous questions I may post...
Not easily.
Publishing a Web doesn't copy usage information, so one is
to publish the Webs in question to a different location.
Otherwise, you would need to write a program that opened
each file located in a _vti_cnf folder, and remove the
lines beginning with:
vti_usagebymonth:
vti_usagebyweek:
vti_usagebyday:
vti_usagelastupdated:
vti_usagetotalhits:
(When FrontPage wants to remember information about a file
(usage information, for example) it adds that information
to a text file with the same file name, but located in a
_vti_cnf subfolder. So, for example, usage information
about the obscure.gif file would reside in a text file
named _vti_cnf/obscure.gif.)
