----- AWStats awstats_configure 1.0 (build 20140126) (c) Laurent Destailleur -----
This tool will help you to configure AWStats to analyze statistics for
one web server. You can try to use it to let it do all that is possible
in AWStats setup, however following the step by step manual setup
documentation (docs/index.html) is often a better idea. Above all if:
- You are not an administrator user,
- You want to analyze downloaded log files without web server,
- You want to analyze mail or ftp log files instead of web log files,
- You need to analyze load balanced servers log files,
- You want to 'understand' all possible ways to use AWStats...
Read the AWStats documentation (docs/index.html).

-----> Running OS detected: Linux, BSD or Unix

-----> Check for web server install

Enter full config file path of your Web server.
Example: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Example: /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Example: c:\Program files\apache group\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Config file path ('none' to skip web server setup):
> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    
-----> Update model config file '/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.model.conf'
  File awstats.model.conf updated.

-----> Need to create a new config file ?
Do you want me to build a new AWStats config/profile
file (required if first install) [y/N] ? y

-----> Define config file name to create
What is the name of your web site or profile analysis ?
Example: www.mysite.com
Example: demo
Your web site, virtual server or profile name:
> mydomain.com

-----> Define config file path
In which directory do you plan to store your config file(s) ?
Default: /etc/awstats
Directory path to store config file(s) (Enter for default):
> -----press enter button

-----> Create config file '/etc/awstats/awstats.mydomain.com.conf'
 Config file /etc/awstats/awstats.mydomain.com.conf created.

-----> Add update process inside a scheduler
Sorry, configure.pl does not support automatic add to cron yet.
You can do it manually by adding the following command to your cron:
/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=mydomain.com
Or if you have several config files and prefer having only one command:
/usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
Press ENTER to continue...


A SIMPLE config file has been created: /etc/awstats/awstats.mydomain.com.conf
You should have a look inside to check and change manually main parameters.
You can then manually update your statistics for 'mydomain.com' with command:
> perl awstats.pl -update -config=mydomain.com
You can also read your statistics for 'mydomain.com' with URL:
> http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mydomain.com

Press ENTER to finish...

the path was installed in /etc/awstats/awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf
and
/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats-

The following directives added in httpd.conf file if not installed already to allow use of AWStats as a CGI.
 

Alias /awstatsclasses "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/classes/"
Alias /awstatscss "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/css/"
Alias /awstatsicons "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"
 


    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

I hope the AWStats installed successfully  and location is /usr/local/awstats

Configuration:
 
# vi /usr/local/awstats/awstats.conf

Find the DirData :
DirData="/var/lib/awstats”   
set to
DirData="/usr/local/awstats"

Site name :
 SiteDomain="www.mydomain.com"

HostAliases="domain.com www.mydomain.com 127.0.0.1 localhost"

Next, Open the /etc/awstats/awstats.domain.com.conf  update  below lines,

LogFile : should give full path of your server log file  (example : www.mydomain.com or access.log)
 
#vi  /etc/awstats/awstats.domain.com.conf

Find the LogFile :  LogFile=/var/log/httpd/mylog.log    
 to
Find the LogFile :  LogFile="/etc/httpd/logs/access.log"

Finally !!!

run the awstats.pl script to update and check the status on browser,
 
#  /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=domain.com
 
Access AWStats in Browser:
URL :  http://192.168.0.1/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mydomain.com




Schedule a cron job to update regularly,


# /var/spool/cron/root



0 12 * * *   /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=www.mydomain.com

Sample Output of AWStats:


#  /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=www.mydomain.com
