awstats static html apache ubuntu howto

paranoids Computer

hi

here some nice howto to get awstats with static html output working under ubuntu

apt-get install awstats libgeo-ipfree-perl libnet-ip-perl

disable the ubuntu cronjob ( comment out everything)

vim /etc/cron.d/awstats

now we setup our /etc/awstats/awstats.domain.tld.conf (cp awstats.conf awstats.domain.tld.conf)

LogFile="/var/log/apache2/domain.tld-access.log"
LogFormat=1
SiteDomain="domain.tld"
DNSLookup=0
LoadPlugin="graphgooglechartapi"
LoadPlugin="geoipfree"

I’ve disabled DNSLookup due to performance issues

create a shell script witch executes awstats

#!/bin/bash

DOMS="domain.tld domain1.tld domain2.tld domain3.tld"

for DOM in $DOMS
do
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=$DOM -update -LogFile="/usr/share/awstats/tools/logresolvemerge.pl /var/log/apache2/"$DOM"-access.log.1 /var/log/apache2/"$DOM"-access.log |"
/usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -update -config=$DOM -dir=/srv/www/vhosts/host1/$DOM/htdocs/awstats -awstatsprog=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
done

Have fun!
