Hi,

i have been trying to setup my web server with CENTOS, PHP, MYSQL, PHPMYADMIN, AWSTATS, VSFTPD for the past week and a half and have only managed to get centos and PHP set up.

Can someone give me instucions on installing and seeting up AWSTATS on a linux (CentOS) web server.

thanks

Bradley

Check out this site: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/
Add the DAG repository to your yum.repos.d folder, and run

Code:

# yum install awstats

This will install the following:
awstats.noarch 6.5-1.2.el4.rf dag

viola, you are ready to go.

To be even more specific, add these lines to a new file call "/etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo":

Code:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

This works very well for me and I am running CentOS 4.3.

I did the yum install awstats, and it progressed to search, download and install the program but it stopped, as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install awstats

You have not set up the DAG Yum Repository yet. Do this:

Code:

# rpm -Uhv http://dag.wieers.com/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.4-1.rh7.rf.i386.rpm
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

When the VI editor comes up, press "i" to enter insert mode, and enter the following information:

Code:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

then try the "yum install awstats" again.

You have to do this so that Yum will search the DAG repository, and not just the standard repositories that are configured during installation.

You will then see something like
"dag 100% |=========================| "
when you run yum install awstats.
