Little help?

It appears you have the GeoIP module enabled from these errors. However there are 2 GeoIP modules.. the GeoIPFree and GeoIP (Pay) modules. If you're trying to use the standard GeoIP (Pay) module, then you need to actual buy it. If you're trying to use the GeoIP:Free module, then you might need to install it first. It's a Perl module I believe... I haven't touched GeoIP in a while so I don't honestly recall, but a quick forum search here might turn up some hints :)

You could alternately just disable GeoIP.. unless you really need such data.

It almost appears as though its expecting the path the GeoIP database to be defined somewhere.

Any idea where I would do that?

Like I said, it depends on which version of GeoIP you're trying to use.
All of the settings are in your awstats config file though.

Just as an example:

Quote:

# Plugin: GeoIP_Org_Maxmind
# Perl modules required: Geo::IP (from Maxmind)
# Note: This plugin need Maxmind GeoIP Perl module AND the Org database.
# Note: I get some problem with Maxmind Geo::IP Perl module with ActiveState
#LoadPlugin="geoip_org_maxmind GEOIP_STANDARD /pathto/GeoIPOrg.dat"


The GeoIP options are near the bottom of your config file.

If you're trying to use Geo::IPFree and are getting this same error, then I'm sorry but I have no idea. The only thing I can think of in this case, is that you don't have the Geo::IPFree Perl module installed.

Thank you for the HOWTO. All the other ones I found, including on gentoo-wiki, were no good, they just took unnecessary steps and lead to unwanted results. You should just change a few numbers to make it work with the newest version and put it on gentoo-wiki.com :-p. Having it on the gentoo.org/doc would be even better :-p.

Well im getting the same problem and I cant figure it out, I cant see anything in the apache conf files to deny running the script and awstats.pl has exec permissions system wide, very odd, but as always, im sure its somethig obvious.


Ok, I got it to work, sadly though I cant remember what I did, sorry :oops:

If I work out what it was, ill post to let you know.


It would be very useful for me, as I get the same problem... :(

Tried unsuccessfully to follow the how-to yet I am still getting a 403 Forbidden error.

Here is my awstats.conf

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.


Code:

Alias /awstats/classes "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/htdocs/classes/"
Alias /awstats/css "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/htdocs/css/"
Alias /awstats/icons "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/htdocs/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/hostroot/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /awstats "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl"

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.3/htdocs">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/6.3/hostroot/cgi-bin">
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
     </IfModule>
</Directory>


if you get 403 forbidden errors remove the <ifmodule mod_access.c> and corresponding </ifmodule> tags. with the latest changes in the apache2 config layout those tags dont trigger anymore and those the crucial allow from all option gets ignored.

How about this:
Code:

# change

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/htdocs">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

# to

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/htdocs">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
#    <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
#    </IfModule>
</Directory>



Also <IfModule mod_auth.c> has changed to <IfModule mod_auth_basic.c> if you use basic authentication.


Hope this helps. It got me through the Apache2.0 -> 2.2 upgrade.

Cheers,

Hello All,

using this nice howto and other users notes I've installed and run an new installation of awstats.

Enjoy my updated Mini-Howto (please check and comment :)):
1) Add "net-www/awstats vhosts" to /etc/portage/package.use
2) # emerge -av awstats
3) # cp /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5-r1/postinst-en.txt /etc/apache2/awstats.conf
4) Add these lines to /etc/apache2/awstats.conf:
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5-r1/hostroot">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName AWStats
AuthUserFile /etc/awstats/users.pwd
require valid-user
</Directory>
4a) If there is no icons and graphs, do:
if you get 403 forbidden errors remove the <ifmodule mod_access.c> and corresponding </ifmodule> tags. with the latest changes in the apache2 config layout those tags dont trigger anymore and those the crucial allow from all option gets ignored.

Change:

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride None
<IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>

To:

<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5/htdocs">
Options None
AllowOverride None
# <IfModule mod_access.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# </IfModule>
</Directory>

Also <IfModule mod_auth.c> has changed to <IfModule mod_auth_basic.c> if you use basic authentication.

5) Add he following to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Include /etc/apache2/awstats.conf
6) Create user for viewing stats:
htpasswd2 -c /etc/awstats/users.pwd adminuser
7) Make config file for every virt. domain:
# cp /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf /etc/awstats/awstats.yourdomain.com.conf
8) Create directory for storing stats for every virt. domain
# mkdir -p /your_virt_host_files_location/stats
9) Now edit /etc/awstats/awstats.yourdomain.com.conf file:
LogFile="/var/log/apache2/yourdomain.com-access_log"
SiteDomain="yourdomain.com"
# HostAliases (any aliases your site may have)
HostAliases="www.yourdomain.com another.alias.com"
# DirData (AWStats database where your results will be stored. This has to be writable by the Apache user if the AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser option is turned on.)
DirData="/your_virt_host_files_location/stats"
DirIcons="/awstats/icons"

9a) Make acronjob (run every hour):
0 * * * * /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5-r1/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yourdomain.com -update >/dev/null

Also if using logrotate make sure your /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 contains prerotate...endscipt directions:
/var/log/apache2/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
prerotate
/usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5-r1/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yourdomain.com -update
endscript
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}

10) You are now ready to build your statistic files for the first time, execute the following command:
# /usr/share/webapps/awstats/6.5-r1/hostroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=yourdomain.com -update
Update for config "/etc/awstats/awstats.yourdomain.com.conf"
With data in log file "/var/log/apache2/yourdomain.com-access_log"...
Phase 1 : First bypass old records, searching new record...
Searching new records from beginning of log file...
Phase 2 : Now process new records (Flush history on disk after 20000 hosts)...
Jumped lines in file: 0
Parsed lines in file: 253444
Found 284 dropped records,
Found 1 corrupted records,
Found 0 old records,
Found 253159 new qualified records.

Restart Apache so that your configuration changes will be take affect:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
11) Now go to http://yourdomain.com/awstats/awstats.pl

Enjoy!!!

Hello All,


Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I want to create separate users for each virtual domain I'll add to /etc/awstats/awstats.mydomain.com.conf:

Code:

AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=1
AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers="user1 [user2 ...]"


right?

Or there is another way to do it?

biggyL's guide worked perfectly, except I had to browse to http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl instead of http://yourdomain.com/awstats/awstats.pl

Thank you so much for this guide!
