AWStats

Installing AWStats 6.1 and create report.

1. Download and execute awstats-61.exe.
   
   
   
   
2. Press Next button and read license.
   
   
   
   
3. Press I Agree button and choose the location where AWStats should be installed.
   For example: C:\Tools\AWStats
   
   
   
   
4. Press Install button. A DOS window will be opened and the following messages will be displayed:
   
   ----- AWStats configure 1.0 (build 1.32) (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).

8. AWStats has added at the end of the Apache httpd.conf file the following lines:
   
   EnableSendfile Off
   Win32DisableAcceptEx On
   #
   # Directives to allow use of AWStats as a CGI
   #
   Alias /awstatsclasses "C:/Tools/AWStats/wwwroot/classes/"
   Alias /awstatscss "C:/Tools/AWStats/wwwroot/css/"
   Alias /awstatsicons "C:/Tools/AWStats/wwwroot/icon/"
   ScriptAlias /awstats/ "C:/Tools/AWStats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"
   
   #
   # This is to permit URL access to scripts/files in AWStats directory.
   #
   <Directory "C:/Tools/AWStats/wwwroot">
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
   </Directory>
   
   
9. Go to C:\Tools\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin and edit file:
   awstats.www.mobilefish.com.conf
   
   You must edit this file according to your situation. Here below are some parameters which you should pay attention.
   
   LogFile="C:/mobilefish_logs/access.log"
   LogFormat=1
   SiteDomain="www.mobilefish.com"
   DNSLookup=0
   DirData="C:/mobilefish_logs/awstats_data_dir"
   AllowFullYearView=3
   
   
10. In a DOS window type:
    perl awstats.pl -update -config=www.mobilefish.com
    
    You will see something like this:
    Update for config "./awstats.www.mobilefish.com.conf"
    With data in log file "C:/mobilefish_logs/access.log"...
    Phase 1 : First bypass old records, searching new record...
    Searching new records from beginning of log file...
    Phase 2 : Now process new records (Flush history on disk after 20000 hosts)...
    Jumped lines in file: 0
    Parsed lines in file: 74806
    Found 2 dropped records,
    Found 49309 corrupted records,
    Found 0 old records,
    Found 25495 new qualified records.
    
    Note 1: The awstats.pl file processes the webserver log file (see LogFile parameter in awstats.www.mobilefish.com.conf) and creates a data file containing the web statistics. The data file location is specified by parameter DirData (see DirData parameter in awstats.www.mobilefish.com.conf).
    
    Note 2: You need to run this command each time if a new webserver log file is available.
    
    
11. You can now generate one or more reports files. In this example all report files are generated. A dos batch file has been created to automate the process. Download create_awstats_log_report.bat file.
    
    
    
    Note 1: All generated report files can be found at
    C:\Tools\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.www.mobilefish.com.xxx.html
    
    Note 2: The main report file is called awstats.www.mobilefish.com.html
