Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
I have a problem.

I was going through the Helm 3 procedure, when i came to the part where i have to set a scheduled task pointing to updatestats.bat file

I have looked everywhere for this file and i cannot find it.

Ive downloaded the latest stable version which is 6.7, and i executed the .exe to install.

Cheers for any help.

That file is created once you add AWStats on any domain from Helm. Otherwise you can create a blank file and schedule it ..

Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
Ive added Awstats to Helm, and enabled awstats in the services tab of an already existing domain.

When i look at the useage report it says 0 for awstats installs. I cant find any button to click on to run a single install for awstats.

Also is there supposed to be a AWStats button in the control panel for the users? As i cannot see one.

Urrrmmm??

Any help much appreciated.

Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
Right ive fixed the last problem but now i have another, this is streesing now

First of all when i open the awstats button under the domain, it says my stats are located at the following address which is wrong to my knowledge:

*http: //localhost/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=mydomain.com

Ive renamed the domain here for privacy, but the localhost should say the domain ive installed it on shouldnt it?

Also shouldnt it also say:

*http: //localhost/AWStats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.mydomain.com

as the awstats bit is missing, and the www to call the virtual directory.

Anyway so ive tried this:

*http: //www.mydomain.com/awstats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.mydomain.com

and i got the following error:

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf" nor "awstats.conf" after searching in path "C:\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin,/etc/awstats,/usr/local/etc/awstats,/etc,/etc/opt/awstats": No such file or directory

- Did you use the correct URL ?
Example: http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite
Example: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=mysite
- Did you create your config file 'awstats.www.mydomain.com.conf' ?
If not, you can run "awstats_configure.pl" from command line, or create it manually.

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

--------------------------------

Any help here would be appreciated.

Here are my AWStats settings in Helm V4:



Is there anything that needs to be changed?

Also my log files are created by IIS 6 in the following format:

W3SVC25778\exyymmddhh.log

Many thanks,

Try Changing the AWStats server root url:* to http://stats.[$domain.name]/ or something similar.

You have couple errors in your configuration.

As suggested by jussh AWStats Server root URL should be the URL you have configured for AWStats on IIS.

Log Seperator would be just a space. Not " "

Remove "%s" %s from Perl's path

and then you should be fine.

Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
Cheers for that im just making the adjustments now.

Oh, what about the log format as mine is recorded by the hour not by the day.

The log file name format that i use is exyymmddhh.log but i dont know what number to add for the hh as YY-3 MM-3 DD-6 etc.

What do the numbers represent?

Many thanks.

HH is for Hours in 24 hours format. So you can try HH-3

Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
Ive fixed everything apart from one last problem.

I think the log format may be incorrect:

When i load the Awstats results for my domain it is not showing the recorded traffic. In the not viewed traffic it shows like 393 hits, but 0 in the viewed traffic. Its not even producing ip results of who has visited. Im sure it is to do with the log format.

So i have looked at the log file for the domain in question, and it contains a good amount of data for awstats to produce results for.

One other thing my icons at the top right on awstats are not loading for the country flags. Ive checked the location for icons and it is correct.

Cheers for this last bit of help, its much appreciated.

...You was right there jissh, i added http://[$domain.name]/ and it resloved that matter. Did not use the stats. bit as im using awstats as virtual directory, but i suppose if i was using the subdomain method it would of been appropriate.

You need to make sure that you are using correct log format for AWStats as per the log options you have enabled on your IIS Sites.

Re: Can anyone help plz? How do i install Awstats for Helm 4 ?
So could i use the following for AWStats log format:

%date %time %c-ip %cs-username %s-sitename %s-computername %s-ip %s-port %cs-method %cs-uri-stem %cs-uri-query %sc-status %sc-substatus %sc-win32-status %sc-bytes %cs-bytes %time-taken %cs-version %cs-host %cs(user agent) %cs-(user-cookie) %cs(referer)

I want to be able to use all the data from the log file to build a complete result with AWStats, as ive enabled all advanced options in the logging properties in IIS 6.

Many thanks for any help.

if you have all loggin options enabled under IIS 6.0 then use the following AWStats logs format :
Quote:

%time2 %other %other %other %method %url %other %other %logname %host %other %other %referer %other %code %other %other %bytesd %other %other
