Notes after configurations:
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

—–> Create config file ‘/etc/awstats/awstats.xyz.edu.kh.conf’
Config file /etc/awstats/awstats.xyz.edu.kh.conf created.

—–> Add update process inside a scheduler
Sorry, configure.pl does not support automatic add to cron yet.
You can do it manually by adding the following command to your cron:
/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=xyz.edu.kh
Or if you have several config files and prefer having only one command:
/usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
Press ENTER to continue…

A SIMPLE config file has been created: /etc/awstats/awstats.xyz.edu.kh.conf
You should have a look inside to check and change manually main parameters.
You can then manually update your statistics for ‘xyz.edu.kh’ with command:
> perl awstats.pl -update -config=xyz.edu.kh
You can also read your statistics for ‘xyz.edu.kh’ with URL:
> http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=xyz.edu.kh

Press ENTER to finish…
