Awstats mod - uses dynamic pages (non static)

[Ovidiu]

I hope someone is still looking into getting it working with suexec?

Since the update to 2.0.11 screwed up my test box due to some sort of db corruption which I still am yet to figure out why, I've moved to a new test server which now has suexec enabled and getting the same security errors you were originally getting.

PHP Code:

[2007-03-27 12:40:46]: uid: (10001/web24_georgev) gid: (10001/10001) cmd: awstats.pl
[2007-03-27 12:40:46]: command not in docroot (/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/ispc.awstats/awstats.pl) 


So I'll be able to look into it now. I'm pretty sure we were almost getting it working on your machine. Just needed some more mods to it but now that it's been a while, I'd have to retrace our steps to get that far.

Will let you know when I worked out a suexec version or mods.

eh, ignore the subject i wasnt aware enough when reading your post .)

I have another question:
i'd like to use this way of awstats for another server without ISPconfig. How did you make that awstats.model.conf is taken as main configuration file? in default Awstats installation this file is ignored by default..

[djtremors]

That's correct, I took advantage of that file not being processed by awstats as being a global config file and then created multiple site files which "Include" the master file (awstats.model.conf). this way I set all the defaults in awstats.model.conf and site specific in the site files.
when awstats runs, it looks inside the site files and then sees it need to use the awstats.model.conf file as well and does it even though it's used by all sites.

You just have to remember to remove settings that have been used in the site files from the awstats.model.conf otherwise you have duplicate entries.

I am processing our chat conversation logs to undo anything we did, but can you give me some hints what to delete that was done by the basic isntallation?

[djtremors]

I don't know what was done. I remember created a new site or used your base site to run the cgi, without access or a copy of the httpd.conf etc. I have no idea now.

[Ovidiu]

I know what we did, because I read throug hte chatlogs, I was asking about what the base install does, but I think I figured it out after reading through your install script...

Hello DJTREMORS,
please, have you tried functionality of new script?, i just created new webpage and /etc/awstats/*.conf file for the page wasnt created
(i started both cron scripts manually.. )
i have not installed whole thing , just unpacked "awstats.php"

so when i go to http://....../stats it's making message like :

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.www.soundsphere-punkers.com.conf" nor "awstats.conf" after searching in path "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/ispc.awstats,/etc/awstats,/usr/local/etc/awstats,/etc,/etc/opt/awstats": No such file or directory

- Did you use the correct URL ?
Example: http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite
Example: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=mysite
- Did you create your config file 'awstats.www.soundsphere-punkers.com.conf' ?
If not, you can run "/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/ispc.awstats/tools/awstats_configure.pl" from command line, or create it manually.

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

[radim_h]

It was probably hallucination, it works now

there is only one weird thing, it makes conf files like

Include "/etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf"
LogFile="/var/www/web7/log/web.log"
SiteDomain="www.soundsphere-punkers.com"
SiteDomain="www.soundsphere-punkers.com"
AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers="w eb7_admin "

Why the line "SiteDomain is created twice ?

[djtremors]

thanks for that. Don't know how I got duplicated lines added to the script but it's fixed now.

Edit the awstats.php script and remove the duplicate in line 142
vi /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/awstats.php

PHP Code:

                if ( !@is_file($stats_path."/../awstats.".$web_real_name.".conf") ) {
                        exec( "echo 'Include \"/etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf\"' > /etc/awstats/awstats.".$web_real_name.".conf" );
                        exec( "echo 'LogFile=\"".$logfile."\"' >> /etc/awstats/awstats.".$web_real_name.".conf" );
                        exec( "echo 'SiteDomain=\"".$web_real_name."\"' >> /etc/awstats/awstats.".$web_real_name.".conf");
                        exec( "echo 'AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers=\"".$ht_user_list."\"' >> /etc/awstats/awstats.".$web_real_name.".conf");
                }
                $message .= exec("/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/ispc.awstats/awstats.pl -config=".$web_real_name." -Logfile=".$logfile." -update")."\n"; 


I don't think it would've caused problems as it's been working for me but I've still updated the current .tgz on my site.
