First thing first; Have a fresh OS Environment so you incur no errors, then make sure you have Perl installed and setup within Abyss.

Download awstats zip file:

http://awstats.sourceforge.net/#DOWNLOAD

Step 1:

Extract the archive where you want awstats to operate from i.e. c:\Abyss\awstats or c:\awstats or c:\program files\awstats

Step 2:

Using File manager / Explorer cut all the contents from cgi-bin found in the awstats folder within wwwroot, and then paste all the cgi-bin content including folders directly into the wwwroot folder within awstats.

Step 3:

Make a copy of the existing awstats.model.conf file, and paste it somewhere to edit.

Then rename the file to awstats.yourdomain.com.conf or awstats.ip address.conf

e.g. awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf or awstats.192.168.0.1.conf

Step 4:

Move the edited .conf file back to the awstats wwwroot folder.

Step 5:

Create a directory within the awstats folder called data.

Step 6:

Modify your awstats.yourdomain.com.conf, or edit with notepad or wordpad and change the following variables:

LogFile="C:/Abyss/log/access.log" or where ever your domain log can be found - your log file location.

DirCgi="/awstats"

SiteDomain="www.yourdomain.com" or "your IP" if using IP Based System.

HostAliases="localhost www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com 127.0.0.1 REGEX[myserver\.com$]"

or "localhost your IP 127.0.0.1 REGEX[myserver\.com$]"

DirIcons="/awstats/icon"

DirData="data" - Directory of awstats own stored logs,

e.g. DirData="c:\awstats\data"

DirIcons and DirCgi can be left as is.

AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1 - This allows you to manually update the stats when you visit the statistics.

Step 7:

Open your Abyss interface, and create an alias, here is an example:

Virtual Path = /awstats - use this default name otherwise you will have to change alot more variables, to point everything to the new alias.

Real Path = c:\awstats\wwwroot

Then apply and restart Abyss.

Step 8:

In the Abyss interface administration goto index files and add:

awstats.pl

This saves a blank page opening and also becoming a security hole to reading other files within the awstats Alias. Basically the main file which runs the statisics automatically loads as a default index file called awstats.pl

Step 9:

Restart Abyss if any changes need to be applied and goto:

Http://www.yourdomain.com/awstats

or

Http://192.168.0.1/awstats - this is if you are just using an IP based system with no domain resolution.

Step 10:

Once your stats have loaded click the update and there you go.

I thought i would write this as i keep forgetting my self "how to", lol, so im also helping my self providing this Tutorial.

Enjoy !

I could not get this to work.

In step 10 I went to http://www.yourdomain.com/awstats ("yourdomain" changed to the domain I have) but only the text content of the perl file appears. It does not execute. What has gone wrong?

(I send you a PM also in case you are not monitoring this thread)

Perl is not correctly installed if this occurs.

To set up awstats for more then one site without having to install awstats in more then one place. First ignore steps 7, 8, and 9 in the tutorial above and set up awstats in your default host (default host for port 80) and drop the following code into the awstats root folder.

If you try to use http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl by it's self it'll give you an error saying, Couldn't open config file "awstats.localhost.conf", but you can specify which config file to use with a query string.

http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=www.mysite.com

The following code will parse the config file names and create links to them so you don't have to manually enter the query string.

filename: index.php
Code:
<?php
$sites = array();

$dir = '/path/to/awstats'; // change this to the path where awstats is installed
if (is_dir($dir)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
      while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
         if ( $file == 'awstats.model.conf')
            continue;

         if ( !eregi('^awstats[a-zA-Z0-9.]*conf', $file))
            continue;

         $sites[] = eregi_replace('.conf', '', eregi_replace('awstats.', '', $file));
      }
      closedir($dh);
   }
}

foreach ($sites as $site) {
   echo '<a href="./awstats.pl?config=' . $site . '">' . $site . '</a><br>';
}
?>

Error 403 is probably because you are using http://localhost which does not match with any of your declared hosts.

You should probably replace http://localhost in the tutorial URLs with your actual domain name or IP address.

You need to provide us with more context about the error. What is its exact URL? Error 500 usually means that the script has reported an error. The error should be logged inside the cgi.log file inside the log subdirectory.

Copying/pasting that error report in your reply may help too.

Looks like something wrong with a perl installation.
I use strawberry perl and no errors with awstats.

Do you use plugins from cpan?
or antivirus software maybe blocking perl.

Another thing what i done.
Just moved cgi-bin contents fo awstats root folder.
Renamed awstats.pl to index.pl. Renamed config to index.conf
And some config adjustments.
I use only two external cpan modules (ipfree and xwhois).

Also i have saved this tutorial webpage (can't remember from where).

We sent you a reply recommending to increase the I/O timeout for CGI which seems to be the cause of these error 500 reports. Your "update" action seems to need too much time to execute that it hits the default 30-second timeout for CGI scripts.

I've got AWStats running fine thanks to this tutorial.
I am considering purchasing X2 and was wondering if AWStats will work fine with multiple domains?

There are many ways to make that happen: you can have a shared configuration which is included by each host-specific AWStats configuration file using the "include" directive (

But the easiest way is to deploy awstats for each domain and configure a copy per host.

I like easy solutions, so I'll probably having a look at the latter one. Thanks.

If my Guide has been followed to the "T" and all dependencies have been installed and set up properly in Abyss.

The Guide works 100%

r2000,

Welcome back.

You are probably a recordman now with a discussion thread running for 17 years!
