Configuring Awstats for ispconfig

Thanks a lot, Till. I have tried to look into inhalt_tree.php but had a hard time because mostly written in German. Anyway, I added an Awstats directory in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/tools/tools and redirect a link to the domain's awstats page. It works if I hard code the domain url. My problem is I need to replace this link with a varieble domain url...i tried to use $web["web_domain"] and other variebles but fail. What I want is "http://www.domainname.com" instead of "https://www.domainname.com:81" to run the command "http://www.domainname.com/awstats/awstat.pl?config=www.domainname.com".

Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

This will not work like this, because one client can have more then one domain and the name of the domain is no not available in the tools section.

I've made a slight change to the shell script which installs an .htaccess file and secures the script. using the .htpasswd set for the other stats.

If anyones interested send me a PM and i'll put it up.

As an aside, anyone got any idea why the stats would not be showing after successfully running?

I get: Never updated (See 'Build/Update' on awstats_setup.html page) The datadir is /var/lib/awstats...

Cheers.

Found the fault if anyone has a similar problem: The ownership of the datadir (/var/lib/awstats) needs to be owned by the webserver. I was running my webserver under a different username / group to the default.

No. But AWStats is not supported by ISPConfig. You cannot expect a software that is not supported to work automatically. ISPConfig uses webalizer as statistics package and this works without manual configuration.

Also, it needs a template file for awstats.
Last, you need to add a couple of lines in your apache2.conf file to create a logfile that can be used by awstats properly:

-----
LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" virtual_combined

# Add this log file for use with Awstats
CustomLog "|/root/ispconfig/cronolog --symlink=/var/log/httpd/awstats_access_log /var/log/httpd/awstats_access_log_%Y_%m_%d" virtual_combined
-----

Use it at your own risk :-)

This script looks great!

Just one question, how do I use it?

Do I need to edit the paths inside the script?

I get errors regarding 'localhost' when I run it from the command-line.

cheers...

Create a cron job for it. Run

crontab -e

as root.

What are the exact error messages?

AWSTATS:

http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7293

The URL for webalizer is http://www.yourwebsite.com/stats The stats where created nightly, so you might have to wait up to 24 hours until the first statistics where generated.
