AWstats

WiWa · 08-16-2003, 07:05 PM

Hi,

I just installed awstats on my Redhat machine, cause I want to extract some information out of my Apache webserver. Awstats does a nice job I've seen on other webpages.

The problem is that awstats only makes .txt files in the dedicated directory. Out of this .txt file, I can make a static html page, but this does not giove me the nice graphs I've seen on other pages.

Any ideas how I can generate the graphs out of this txt file. I cannot find information on this.

Any help is welcome,

Wim

Try something like:

Code:

/path/to/awstats.pl -config=/path/to/MY.CONFIG.FILE -output -staticlinks > /path/to/webdir/stats.html

That's exactly what I did. I get some output, but I don't see the graphs. I could maybe be that the traffic on my new website is so low that it still is invisible?

Whn you say you don;t get the graphs - what do you get? Is it on the web where I can see?

You should be able to view my page on www.wauters-mannaert.be:81 and then go to statistics and WomStat. There you see the necessary figures, but you don't see the graphs.

I only get a timeout with that

It should be running now...I made a DNS mistake...it should work now...

I can see the graphs but there is no colour. This is because you have set a full path not a web path to the image files location. When it tried to load an image it is looking for this file on your site:

You should reveiew your config file and try again. Post your config if you can't spot the problem.

Thanks once again. You were right. My path to the icon directory wasn't OK.

Do you know why there is such a big difference between the numbers of Webalizer and the numbers of AWStats. They are both based on the access_log.

For webalizer, there is a beautiful description of what hits, files, pages are. Is AWstats using other definitions?

I don't know your site seems down again.

I'm experimenting with the :81. It should be up now again.
However, the phenomenon I describe can also be seen at e.g.: http://broadband.mongeese.co.uk/

Looking at it I would guess that webalizer doesn't count graphics - this sor of thing is configurable under both as far as I am aware - the choice is yours.
