I followed the instructions on djtremors website to install the Awstats plugin.

But it doesn't seem to work. When I go to domain.tld/stats I get a redirect to domain.tld/jawstats/?config=domain.tld but its a 404 Error.

I installed jawstats according to the website except didn't know if I had to manually add all the site to the config (hoping the awstats script did that somehow like it does for awstats).

I tried to turn off jawstats and go back to just awstats but when I made jawstats = false in the plugin config the redirect was still pointing to the jawstats directory.

Any help getting this to work is greatly appreciated - at minimum I would be happy with awstats running but ideally would like jawstats.

I just checked the jawstats config file and it looks like it had been updated with the sites

Now to just get the stats working instead of the 404 error

Yes, you need to wait for ISPC to poll for changes before it updates the config files. I'd have to double check what default I placed into this plugin on the site but thought awstats was the default, not jawstats.

Also remember that after installation, you need to wait for the overnight cron to process the web log files before things will start to populate and work properly. You could technically forcefully run the cron to update immediately to see if things work or not and not wait for cron.

@djtremors :

I followed your install and the plugin works to a point, it has generated teh awstats.conf
When I run the update script it generates the stats files but I can't seem to get to display if I goto www.xxx.com/ispcstats, and I am getting a 404 error

any ideas ?

if you check on my page above, it says to place the below snip into /etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats.conf, has this been done and apache reloaded? I haven't tested on every distro so can't guarantee would it work on all but will help on request.

.
.
Alias /awstats-icon/ /usr/share/awstats/icon/
ScriptAlias /ispcstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

Also, you should be visiting /stats and not directly to /ispcstats unless you know the full url path/config settings.etc.

Ok now have disabled jawstats as I can't get this to work, I have version 0.7 installed but even after I add statsname => "myformat [MM][YYYY].txt I am still getting an error
The data file being looked for is awstats20109.12volt.co.za.txt in folder :

Anyway, awstats seem to work but I can't login, what's the user and password ?

Hey djtremors,

your step
6. dit the /etc/awstats/awstats.conf and enabled the setting AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly to 1. This is the protection to stop 1 domain on your host checking the other domains on your system in combination with the per site setting AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers.

AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=1

This is not required, else what happens is the user gets prompted for 2 logins, once by ispconfigs setting "admin" and then by yours "client name".

As ispconfig has the option to change or set a password for the stats site, the user will be prompted for this anyway.

I had endless problems trying to find out why I am being asked twice.

This now presents a problem if the users edit the web address ?config=example.co.za to another sites address they will have access to those stats.


if you do turn off

you will also need to comment out
# vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats.conf

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Site Client Access Only"
AuthUserFile /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.htpasswd_stats
<limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</limit>

[djtremors]

that problem you are now facing is because you removed what you said is not required.. but it is exactly for that reason

/ispcstats is global to all sites, hence all logins are stored in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.htpasswd_stats for this url.

AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=1 forced that users MUST be authenticated (fair enough).

AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers="a dminuser1 ispc3admin" this is a website specific config which says which of those users authenticated have access to this websites stats (this stops cross site access).

www.client1website.com/stats is just a wrapper to preauth the site user(s) and then point to http://www.client1website.com/cgi-bi...nt1website.com making it easier to type in. User is already authenticated the first time, it should not reauthenticate unless it changes domain.

Check to make sure your ./web/stats/.htaccess file is redirecting to the same website URL

so www.clientsite.com, the file redirect should be

Redirect 301 /stats http://www.clientsite.com/awstats/?c...clientsite.com

PS: sorry, not monitoring this thread much.

Please be aware that ispconfig 3.0.3 includes awsatst support with static pages in the /stats directory. This plugin and the steps here might interfere with the ispconfig 3.0.3 awstats implemenatation and may not work or might destroy the ispconfoig 3.0.3 awsatst setup. I recommend to not use this plugin on ispconfig sstems that are newer then 3.0.2.2
