Configure httpd to support AWStats

AWStats is now installed under /usr/local/awstats, but you may need to make some minor modifications to the Apache configuration file in order to use it via a web browser.

Step 1. Set global permisstion for the AWStats directory

<Directory "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


Step 2. Local within each virtual host
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName example1.com
  ServerAlias www.example1.com
  DocumentRoot /home/ec2-user/example1.com/html

# http://example1.com/cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/awstats /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin
  Alias /awstats /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot
  CustomLog "/home/ec2-user/example1.com/access_log" "combined"

</VirtualHost>

Configure AWStats for each virtul host
# cp /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.model.conf /etc/awstats/awstats.example1.com.conf
# vi /etc/awstats/awstats.example1.com.conf


Make sure the following:
LogFile="/home/ec2-user/example1.com/access_log"
LogType=W
LogFormat=1
SiteDomain="example1.com"
DirData="/home/ec2-user/example1.com/awstats"
DirCgi="/cgi-bin/awstats"
DirIcons="/awstats/icon"
AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1


Here DirData is used for store updated statistics results. If it does not exist, create one first. Also, as the statistics is allowed to be updated from browser (AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1), DirData may have to be set to allow write permission for nobody (apache).

# mkdir /home/ec2-user/example1.com/awstats
# chmod 777 /home/ec2-user/example1.com/awstats

Update Statistics
/usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now 
  -confdir="/etc/awstats/" 
  -awstatsprog="/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl"


If you want to periodically run the above update, you can put the script into /ect/cron.d as follows:

List of scripts:
$ ls -l /etc/cron.d
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  47 Jul  7  2008 awstatcronsetup
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 151 Sep  6 23:55 awstats


AWStats cron setup:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/awstatcronsetup

55 23 * * * root /usr/share/awstats/cronsetup


AWStats script setup:
$ cat /usr/share/awstats/cronsetup

#!/bin/bash

hour=`echo $[$RANDOM % 24]`

if [ $hour -gt 9 ]; then
	echo "00 $hour * * * root /usr/share/awstats/awstats_updateall.pl now 
    -awstatsprog=/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl 
    -configdir=/etc/awstats/ >/dev/null 2>&1" >/etc/cron.d/awstats
else 
	echo "00 0$hour * * * root /usr/share/awstats/awstats_updateall.pl now 
    -awstatsprog=/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl 
    -configdir=/etc/awstats/ >/dev/null 2>&1" >/etc/cron.d/awstats
fi

/sbin/service crond restart >/dev/null 2>&1


AWStats update cron script:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/awstats

00 18 * * * root /usr/share/awstats/awstats_updateall.pl now 
-awstatsprog=/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl 
-configdir=/etc/awstats/ >/dev/null 2>&1

Start the server

# /etc/init.d/httpd start


Then verify AWStats by url:
http://example1.com/cgi-bin/awstats/awstats.pl

Awstats update cron job on AWS EC2 instance
Finally, a simpler version (fixed time) of cron job is placed:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/awstats
45 03 * * * root /usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl  now 
  -awstatsprog=/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl 
  -configdir=/etc/awstats/ >/dev/null 2>&1

Protect your Awstats statistics with password
For most cases, you may want to prevent your web statistics from public access. You can do it by protecting your script directory with a password challenge.

Replace what in 'Step 1. Set global permisstion for the AWStats directory' with the following:
<Directory /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "AWStats - Web, FTP, and Mail Statistics"
    AuthUserFile /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/.awstats.pwd
    Require valid-user
</Directory>
