Topic: Install of AWSTATS on SME8b6

[edb]

I just installed awstats but it does not appear under the Administration section of Server Manager.
I issued the following commands:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install awstats

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Not sure why it is not appearing in Server manager so any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

You also need smeserver-awstats as that is the package that should bind the package into server-manager. Since contribs are not officially released on SME Server 8 you will have to follow a slightly different approach as detailed in http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA . Please keep in mind that using SME Server 8.x which is still beta you are in unsupported territory and you should investigate and read documentation.

Please do not post questions on non stock SME Server questions in SME Server x.y forums (see the forum descriptions at http://forums.contribs.org) as they are off topic there. Moving to General Discussion where it is more appropriate.

Thanks and dually noted about the general discussion section!

Hi Cactus

That's my problem since I cannot find the smeserver-awstats package anywhere?
Things used to be easy to find but now it appears that there are just links to no where.

[Stefano]

did you setup the sme7contribs?

[edb]

I didn't know you could setup an SME7contribs repo on SME8?
Is there a particular command for doing so and is it wise?
Is there a download link that I may download it and then do a yum localinstall?

[edb]

Ok, thank you to both of you for pointing me in the right direction!

I finally found the "Create a repo named sme7contribs, which points at the SME7 smecontribs repo" from the instructions here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA followed the instructions to create the new repo.

Then installed with

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-awstatsfollowed by

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Worked perfectly fine!
Thanks again

There was a reason why I provided that link:

Yes, and thank you for providing that link Cactus!
It took me a while to understand the relevance but it finally clicked when Stefano ask if I setup the sme7contribs.
Appreciate the help.

After waiting for a couple days to build stats it appears that something is very wrong as AWStats is always empty.
So I removed via

Code: [Select]

yum remove smeserver-awstats then

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
After the reboot I try to install again and notice (this time)

Code: [Select]

Dependency Installed:

After a reboot I enable AWStats but everything looks the same as the first time again.

Is there something wrong with the package maybe that it is a newer version that what may have been previously tested.
It was listed on the list of packages that appear to work on SME8 but I guess it doesn't which is a real bummer.
