AWStats is a free, powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. AWStats works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache log files and a lot of other web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some ftp servers. There's an automated script (awstats_configure.pl) to prepare the httpd config file located in DOCROOT/awstats/ - however, you should not need/want to run it; instead, everything should work well if you make the changes listed below. Edit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf (this is a required change to use AWStats): Comment this out: CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/access_log" common Uncomment this: CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/access_log" combined Short How-to for using AWStats as CGI: Add the following include line /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-awstats.conf You need to load mod_cgid.so and mod_cgi.so modules Then restart httpd: "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart" A sample config file will be placed in /etc/awstats; Make some necessary changes and please read the necessary steps to start awstats from online page starting from step 4: http://www.awstats.org/docs/awstats_setup.html If you wish to update the process automatically, please refer to: http://www.awstats.org/docs/awstats_faq.html#CRONTAB
