Setting up AWSTATS with WS 7.0 - How To
I had some trouble setting up Awstats - the Web server statistics program - with Web server 7.0. I'm not especially savvy with Solaris administration, so the following solution I used might be a no-brainer for you. But if anyone else like me is looking for an easy guide, here it is:
1. Download Awstats from http://awstats.sourceforge.net/#DOWNLOAD
2. Unzip and upload directory to your Web server Web application directory
3. To turn on CGI, edit ws-dir/https-myserv/config/obj.conf to include this line (Service fn="send-cgi" type="magnus-internal/cgi") within the default Object element.
4. Rename the /cgi-bin/awstats.pl file to /cgi-bin/awstats.cgi
5. Follow the steps in the /docs/ Awstats documentation to create and set up the .conf file (which I placed into the same directory as the awstats.cgi file)
6. Follow the Awstats documentation to create the statistics database files
Voil� - that's all.
