AWStats Installer

Warning : As of ISPConfig 2.2.33, AWStats is directly included in the standart, stable release (Reference). Do not try to use this script with a version > 2.2.32

This is an AWStats installer, and not a package, because the package mechanism in ISPConfig does not allow running commands as Root. Some AWStats tricks have already been discussed in the ISPConfig forum, but I took another approach. I didn't like the other approach mainly because either you had to copy the awstats.pl to each website, or because you could easily get access to stats of another website. So I decided to go the same way as webalizer, by generating static pages.

Important to know

This package is in Release Candidate State
Do not use on production Server Yet
It generates Statistics for website that have the webalizer option enabled
Statistics are stored in /awstats directory
It uses the same .htaccess mechanism as webalizer

Known Issues

For the Apache configuration I am using an ugly sed script, which is not very portable (other distributions)

Resolved Issues in version RC2

The index file has now a title for each year, and it's reverse sorted
Added a little style to the index file

If you are still interested go on and test the installer ISPConfig_awstats_pkg_RC2.tar.gz. Follow theses Steps:

Become root

code:
su -

Change directory

code:
cd /usr/src

Download the archive

code:
wget http://jnsc.ch/downloads/ISPConfig_awstats_pkg_RC2.tar.gz

Extract the archive

code:
tar -xvzf ISPConfig_awstats_pkg_RC2.tar.gz

Change directory

code:
cd ISPConfig_awstats_pkg

Install

code:
./install.sh

This step is optional, it will generate the statistics. But you could also wait until the cron is executed (4:00 am)

code:
/root/ispconfig/php/php /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/awstats.php

That's it.
