I tried doing it with location: location /awstatsclasses ScriptAlias /awstats/ '/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/' Apache directives. This meant implementing the equivalent of the Alias /awstatsclasses '/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/classes/'Īlias /awstatscss '/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/css/'Īlias /awstatsicons '/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon/' Next I needed to configure nginx, this was similar to what is specified in the Nginx - Perl FastCGI How To, except that my cgi-bin folder wasn't located at the root of my site, so I had to changeĪfter restarting nginx I could finally access awstats, however I was currently accessing it via, and wanted to try and get it so I could access it via, as is suggested in the guide to setting up awstats. What I actually had to add was use lib '/home/username/perlModules/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi', as this was where the FCGI.pm module had actually installed to.Īfter setting that to the correct value, and of course setting the correct location for the socket file to be created, I could now start the perl FCGI wrapper perl /path/to/& When I tried running the script, it still couldn't find the FCGI perl module. All I needed to do was before use FCGI I added use lib '/home/username/perlModules' Įxcept this didn't actually work.

CGI BIN AWSTATS AWSTATS.PL HOW TO

I found a tutorial on how to do this: What to do when Perl modules aren't in their normal locations. Next I needed to modify the perl FastCGI wrapper script so that it would look in the correct location for the FCGI module, since I had installed it in a non standard location. All you do is untar the tarball, cd into the directory, then run perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/perlModules I followed the guide Installing Perl Modules into a Nonstandard Directory.

CGI BIN AWSTATS AWSTATS.PL INSTALL

I found it wasn't installed, so I had to download and install it.

I found out how to do that at Checking to see if a Perl module is in your path: perl -e 'use FCGI ' - if it prints nothing, the FCGI perl module is installed, if it says it can't locate the module, then it's not installed. So next I needed to check if the FCGI perl module was already installed. There is also an Nginx Wiki article - Nginx Simple CGI.įollowing the tutorial tutorial Nginx - Perl FastCGI How To, I downloaded the perl FCGI wrapper, which requires the FCGI Perl module. So I searched to find out how to run perl scripts as CGI under nginx, and found a tutorial Nginx - Perl FastCGI How To. I tried accessing, but just got prompted to download the file.

CGI BIN AWSTATS AWSTATS.PL UPDATE

Now finally the update command perl $HOME/path/to/ -config=mysite -update would work. So I updated the log format in the nginx configuration again, deleted all the current logs again, restarted nginx, and then visited the website to get a log entry.

Both what the log format should look like and what it did look like looked exactly the same to me, but after a bit of puzzling I realised that I had two spaces between the HTTP Status code and the bytes transferred value, when it should be just one space between them. Then this morning I tried running the command to update again perl $HOME/path/to/ -config=mysite -update, but got the same message that the actual log format didn't match what I'd specified in the awstats site configuration file. So I removed that from the nginx log format, deleted all the logs, and restarted nginx last night.

So I checked and found that I had $http_x_forwarded_for on the end of each line of my log. When I ran the update command line perl $HOME/path/to/ -config=mysite -update, I got a message that my logs didn't match what I'd specified in the. I had extracted the awstats folder to a web-accessible location on the web server, and also set up the file. This morning I was trying to get awstats working on the web server.
