Topic: Web stats in SME?

[yehaah]

I've been missing the web statistics since i moved from SME 6x to 7x.

Why not incorperate the web stats into SME 7.0 final?

Are web stats not a must for all web server owners?

[girkers]

I think this is a great idea, but what you must realise is that not everyone uses SME as a webserver.

[yehaah]

Well I don't use SME as a proxy server, but that dosn't mean that they can't have one in the distobution.

The same with the anti spam funktion in 7.0. I only use it on my mail server. I don't use it on my web server or in my gateway  

Just because they put it in, and maybe make a link to it in the server-manager, doesn't meen that it can't be available.

The problem with adon stats is that they stop working after an upgrade  

[girkers]

Good point I didn't look at it that way.

The philosophy of the smeserver admins is to remove programs from the base into contribs, so I can't see awstats being added.

then raise a bug against the contrib, preferably with the solution

dungog.net has a SME 7.0 package called smeserver-awstats. It integrates awstats into server-manager. It can be installed with yum if you have the dungog repository added:

http://www.dungog.net/sme/repo.php

Run at least this part (the other part is for dungog's paying customers):

 SME 7.0
1. From the command line enter the following, (or copy and paste into your ssh client)

db yum_repositories set dungog repository \
 BaseURL http://sme.dungog.net/packages/smeserver/7.0/i386/dungog/ \
 EnableGroups yes \
 GPGCheck no \
 Name 'SME Server 7 - dungog' \
 Visible yes \
 status enabled

<edited to install the right awstats rpm, don't get one from the awstats website>
You will need to obtain and install awstats RPM from:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/awstats/
tested with awstats-6.5-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

You should be able to install with:
yum localinstall awstats-6.5-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
(or whatever the latest version number RPM is.)

then:
yum install smeserver-awstats

Wait 5 minutes then check for a "web statistics" link in server-manager. It will automagically populate with all your domains.

Any help is highly apreciated.

Post it to the SME Server 7.0 bug tracker contribs section.

Well after a bit of trial and error and not finding anything definite on installing AWSTATS on SME7, I have come across 2 rpm's that when installed seem to work properly...

So I have copied them over to my FTP area  and they can be found at ftp://chaloner.ca/awstats

I installed them with the following commands after downloading them to a temporary directory;

# yum install *.rpm
# signal-event post-upgrade
# signal-event reboot

They seem to work just fine... I hope this helps someone...

Thankyou chaloner i had awstats on my old server but couldnt workout why it wouldnt work on the new. Your ftp files did the trick

Many Thanks

[swissueli]

Hi guys,

that did the trick to my installation too.

First had to remove the two previously installed rpms but then it worked like a charm.

One more questions:

Would it be possible to access that awstats result page not only through the server-manager plugin but additional as an external web page? Any hints?

Cheers, Ulrich

[CharlieBrady]

I've been missing the web statistics since i moved from SME 6x to 7x.

Web statistics was not part of 6.0.x. (I don't know about 6.5;  I have never run that version).

[thyrsted]

As the FTP-files seemes to be gone.....

Can anybody please post wich rpm's that are needed for awstats on SME7 ?

- - Chaloner ??

TIA
Kenn

[calisun]

Does anybody know of any other locations for there rpm's as they no longer existst at this ftp location.

[telleropnul]

ftp://chaloner.ca/

Look for awstats.tar

The RPMs are named:
awstats-6.5-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
smeserver-awstats-1.2-2.noarch.rpm

Also on my system they work like a charm out of the box.
