An easy to setup packaging of AWStats and AWStats-Totals for use on DreamHost web-hosting services (shared or managed VPS).

AWStats-DH can be installed anywhere on a web site, and it will generate stats for all sites hosted under the same shell user. To install AWStats-DH on the site example.com, SSH login to the shell user (ssh [email protected]), and then perform the following setup.

• Download

  Clone AWStats-DH into example.com's web directory:

  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/chuckhoupt/awstats-dh.git example.com/awstats-dh
  

• Build Initial Statistics

  Run the update script to generate the initial reports:

  ~/example.com/awstats-dh/update-awstats
  

Now visit example.com/awstats-dh/ to see the stats for all sites hosted under that shell user.

• Install Cron Job

  To update the reports daily, install a cron job:

  @daily example.com/awstats-dh/cronic example.com/awstats-dh/update-awstats day
  

• Secure Reports

  Setup password protection for the awstats-dh directory via DH's Htaccess Panel.
