So I ended up with something like:Īfter you’ve got all your configuration files setup, you’ll want to run awstats against all your old log files (assuming that you’ve got old log files that you want to process). Next, using the sample, you’ll need to create the a domain configuration file for every site that you want to report on and place each one in /etc/awstats/ (read more about the domain configuration files here, scroll down to step #4 and #5). I then moved the AWStats directives inside this reporting virtual domain. Since some of the sites I’ve written use servlet filters to do URL rewriting and because I wanted to minimize the number of AWStats entry points (AWStats was recently hacked), I setup a virtual host in Apache as a reporting domain.

Maybe after reading my notes (on RedHat Linux) someone else won’t have to exercise as much patience.įirst step: download AWStats, unzip (I unpacked to /usr/local/awstats/) and then execute the following script to start the setup process:Īfter you complete that step, you’ll have a couple AWStats directives in your Apache configuration. I tried installing AWStats a couple months ago on my server, got frustrated after an hour or two of reading the documentation and trying to figure out permissions problems, gave up and then tried again about two weeks ago, this time with more patience.
