AWStats Plugin for DA [version 3.0+]

Awstats - FreeBSD 6.x

Well, after many days of frustration and Awstats not working on my new server, clients getting frumpy because they can't see their Awstats, I figured I would try another solution.

I currently have an existing DA box that I'm transferring all websites off of onto my new box...the one that awstats doesn't work on.

I simply copied the awstats folder out of the /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/ folder using scp and placed a copy in the plugins/ folder on the new server.

I then made sure to match the permissions of the old server...everything owned by diradmin.

I then opened up DA as Admin, went to the Plugin Manager and there is Awstats sitting there. It said everything was installed (which I knew it wasn't) so I simply un-installed it (not deleted it), re-installed it and then activated it.

I then returned to the Admin area and there is is...bright and bold AwStats Statistics.

I clicked on the link, chose the users that can use Awstats, clicked save and bob's your mothers brother.

The version that I'm running is 2.1.6. If anyone needs a copy of it, PM me and I'll email it to you. It may not be the velvet glove approach, but it got things moving for me.

Cheers!!

Probably shouldn't turn off Webalizer..some users may not want to use AWStats (though I don't know why..lol).

Hi ..

Can you run both? .. if you don't stop the CRON entry they will both be fighting to read the same logfile yeh? ..

Hey,

I got some error message after I issued the following command:

[root@server update]# cd /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks
[root@server hooks]# ./alldomains.php
then I got:

Installed awstats.

Just edit the alldomains.php script, search for chmod and remove the -L from where ever you find it. Not rocket science here, guys.

The -L is a option for BSD to follow symlinks. Original author must have written the plugin on BSD.

You need to remove --enable-safe-mode from configure.php4(5) file :)
 
Not sure if this is an error or it's NORMAL~ maybe u can advise me?

Any idea on how to fix it?

Thank you,

Any help? :confused::confused:

DA 1.32.2
Freebsd 6.0
 
Why don't you use AWstats that comes with DirectAdmin? Is there any reason to use the plugin? :) If not, just do:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./awstats.sh
service directadmin restart
 
Sorry, but I don't understand your answer :) You don't need a 3rd party plug-in to have AWstats installed/updated.
 
Since John has decided to include Awstats into the current release of DA, I've removed the plugin from my server. If anyone wants to use AWStats now, just update to 1.322 and use the DA supplied one. It's the same script with some modifications from what I can tell. Hopefully John will give credit where credit is due to the original authors, etc. ;)
 
Hi .. i've been using this ..

If I now enable the DirectAdmin support for AWStats, will this erase any user data currently viewable? ..

Brett
 
BTW, be aware that the stats created by the plugin probably will not jive with the new DA version, even though John used the same concepts, he did use different directories, etc. If you need a way to convert the data, I suggest you ask him to provide a conversion script....I'm not supporting the plugin or any conversions or questions about how to convert it. From what I understand, smtalk did the incorporation...that's who you should ask. ;)

Also, anyone using the plugin, should NOT use the DA version without completely testing it first..especially since it's a GLOBAL switch for ALL users. Tread lightly lest you p*ss off your users. :)

Which one is the same script /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/awstats.sh (made from roundcube.sh structue etc.) or /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/awstats_process.sh that is written from 0? :) P.S. thank you for the 3rd party plug-in.

Meant to say, same process....

anyway..you need to be sure that the DA script does not interfere with plugin stats, or at least converts them to the right paths. Also..

awstats are places as static html pages into:
/home/user/domains/domain.com/awstats

Is where the plugin puts it's scripts and .htaccess, etc...so you could potentially break plugin setups...
