How to Install AWStats Web Statistics

AwStats is an excellent tool to monitor your web traffic. First you need to create an ibay in which AwStats should be installed. This can be done by use of the server-manager. The default ibay is "awstats", but any ibay can be used. If you do not specify anything, the script assumes the default "awstats". This installation script will create an index page in the ibay you choose with a list of all the domain registered on this server. 

First Create an ibay where you remember to enable "Execution of dynamic content"

Now you are ready to install AwStats itself. Download and run the install script from my site:

[root@e-smith ]# wget -N http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/AwStats/install_awstats.sh

[root@e-smith ]# sh install_awstats.sh

If you install in another ibay than the default "awstats" then specify that on the command line

[root@e-smith ]# sh install_awstats.sh stats

The portion of the installation script that updates the statistics for the first time can take a while dependant of how many domains you have on the server and the amount of traffic has been logged. When the installation is complete then use you favorite browser and open the URL:

http://www.yourdomain.com/awstats/

or 

http://www.yourdomain.com/install_ibay/

Where install_ibay in the ibay you used for your installation.

An example of the stats from my server is:
