This is under development, and is subject to many changes |
- Using awstats-6.8
- Runs on caje.
- Current path of software is /ucd/opt/sakai/tmp
- Changes made to awstats itself
- Created config /ucd/opt/sakai/tmp/awstats-6.8/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.ss_test_tc.conf based off of awstats.model.conf for smartsite test
- Set SiteDomain (smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu)
- Set HostAliases (added all appserver names)
- Disabled DNS lookups (DNSLookup=0)
- Set DirData to /ucd/opt/sakai/tmp/awstats-6.8/var/lib/awstats
- Set DirIcons to http://caje.ucdavis.edu/awstats/icon/
- Put load balancer IP in SkipHosts

- Command Decision: Decided to not run as CGI, but generate HTML externally.
- Set up all the sundry stuff on webserver (path /var/www/html/sakai/awstats/* came from what was in webroot in the awstats home)
- Since awstats supports perl style inclusions and since we have many different access logs, decided to import files atomically and left them bzip'd.
- Created import script /ucd/opt/sakai/tmp/scripts/awimport.sh
- It works basically by using find and sort to generate a chronological list of access log files for import, and then importing them using awstats.pl
- The following variables are set and are global across all environments(eg test,prod):
- DATA_DIR - Path to store file lists of already imported files
- AWSTATS_HOME - Path where to find awstats.pl
- AWSTATS_TOOLS - Path where to find awstats helper perl scripts
- BZCAT_CMD - Full path to program to cat bzip2 files.
- The following variables are specific to each environment:
- AW_CONFIG - base file name of the awstats.pl config file. Since its unique to an environment its uses as a key for tons of things
- AFS_LOGDIR - Path to find all the access log files. If used in conjunction with log_accum.pl it should be the path where the month directories live.
- HTML_DIR - Path to place html result files
- If a access log file name exists in the file $DATA_DIR/$AW_CONFIG.dat, it is skipped. While awstats does have this capability, it is also wordy about it, and this is more efficient.
- Once all imports are complete, it generates the reports. It does this:
- First create a save point for the HTML files. If this directory exists, clean it.
- Save the HTML files by moving the current HTML_DIR to the save directory.
- Create the HTML_DIR
- cd into it and run awstats_buildstaticpages.pl to build the HTML files.
