Source(s): AWStats solutions
Untar the archive and create the neccessary symbolic links
Connect to the NAS box with putty.exe to execute the commands directly in the box.
Use the admin username and password.
NOTE: On this howto, the package is placed under the Public share, if you need it placed elsewhere, just change all the /share/Public references to your own liking.
It was in the former edition placed under HDA_ROOT, but after some time, you can experience disk full problems on the HDA_ROOT partition.
Untar the file archive to /mnt/HDA_ROOT.

# cd /share/Public # tar -zxvf /share/Public/awstats-6.7.tar.gz |
Rename the awstats directory:
# mv awstats-6.7 awstats |
Create a symbolic link under /usr/local to point to the actual location /mnt/HDA_ROOT/awstats:
# ln -s /share/Public/awstats /usr/local |
Create a folder 'db' under default awstats directory and for storing the database files then create a symbolic link 'awstats' under /var/lib to point to it:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/awstats/db # ln -s /share/Public/awstats/db /var/lib/awstats |
Create a folder 'awstats' under /etc/config for storing the config files then create a symbolic link 'awstats' under /etc to point to it for ease of access:
# mkdir -p /etc/config/awstats # ln -s /etc/config/awstats /etc |
Now we need to make all these link to survive upon reboot
Refer to the guide on editing the Autorun.sh file which will preserve your changes made above. Add the following symbolics we created at Step 3 to the bottom of autorun.sh file:
## Awstats symbolic links ln -sf /share/Public/awstats/db /var/lib/awstats ln -sf /etc/config/awstats /etc ln -sf /share/Public/awstats /usr/local |
Configuring AWStats step by step guide
Go to the 'tools' folder under the default awstats folder /usr/local/awstats
# cd /usr/local/awstats/tools |
and run:
# perl awstats_configure.pl
it should output on the console as below:
----- AWStats awstats_configure 1.0 (build 1.7) (c) Laurent Destailleur ----- This tool will help you to configure AWStats to analyze statistics for one web server. You can try to use it to let it do all that is possible in AWStats setup, however following the step by step manual setup documentation (docs/index.html) is often a better idea. Above all if: - You are not an administrator user, - You want to analyze downloaded log files without web server, - You want to analyze mail or ftp log files instead of web log files, - You need to analyze load balanced servers log files, - You want to 'understand' all possible ways to use AWStats... Read the AWStats documentation (docs/index.html).
then you will be prompted:
-----> Running OS detected: Linux, BSD or Unix Warning: AWStats standard directory on Linux OS is '/usr/local/awstats'. If you want to use standard directory, you should first move all content of AWStats distribution from current directory: /mnt/HDA_ROOT/awstats to standard directory: /usr/local/awstats And then, run configure.pl from this location. Do you want to continue setup from this NON standard directory [yN] ?
type in 'y' to accept the current directory.
next you will be prompted:
-----> Check for web server install Enter full config file path of your Web server.
Example: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Example: /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
Example: c:\Program files\apache group\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Config file path ('none' to skip web server setup):
type in: '/usr/local/apache/conf/apache.conf'
next you will be prompted:
-----> Need to create a new config file ? Do you want me to build a new AWStats config/profile file (required if first install) [y/N] ?
type in 'y' to build a new AWStats config/profile file.
next you will be prompted:
-----> Define config file name to create What is the name of your web site or profile analysis ? Example: www.mysite.com Example: demo Your web site, virtual server or profile name:
type in a name, I use 'demo' in this how to (your web site, virtual server or profile name as it suggests)
next you will be prompted:
-----> Define config file path In which directory do you plan to store your config file(s) ? Default: /etc/awstats Directory path to store config file(s) (Enter for default):
Just press 'ENTER' to accept the defaults (eg, /etc/awstats)
next you will be give a line of code for updating the records in a regular basis, choose the one suits you.
-----> Add update process inside a scheduler Sorry, configure.pl does not support automatic add to cron yet. You can do it manually by adding the following command to your cron: '''/mnt/HDA_ROOT/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=demo''' Or if you have several config files and prefer having only one command: '''/mnt/HDA_ROOT/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now''' Press ENTER to continue...
and finally:
A SIMPLE config file has been created: /etc/awstats/awstats.demo.conf You should have a look inside to check and change manually main parameters. You can then manually update your statistics for 'demo' with command: ''' > perl awstats.pl -update -config=demo''' You can also read your statistics for 'ts409@home' with URL: '''> http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=demo''' Press ENTER to finish...
Don't forget to add the following line to your crontab under /etc/config for automatic site stats updates
0 2 * * * /mnt/ext/usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
