#231733 — awstats, how to see in a browser?

Greetings all;

I finally got around to changing awstats.conf to look at the httpd logs 
since the apache2 logs haven't been used in a while, but 2 changes in 
browsers has lost the localhost link to see what it is spitting out.

Does anyone recall the address to send a browser to?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

awstats does not start a web server. You can use it in 2 modes,
depending on your configuration:
- as a CGI script
- as an offline HTML generator

In either case you need a web server to serve the HTML to your browser.
Your best chance is to check your server configuration (I'd start with
/etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf if you are using Apache) for
the URL.

The installation process is described in
/usr/share/doc/awstats/README.Debian.gz so if you have followed those
instructions, then the path in the URL would be /cgi-bin/awstats.pl

If your web server is running, then you should at least see the process
in the output of
# ss -nlpt

Apache2 is running, you can see it at the link in the sig.

Hi Gene,

actually I meant the path part in the URL, so if you reach your web
server on localhost on the HTTP protocol, then the URL would be
http://localhost/cgi-bin/awstats.pl

>ene@coyote:/var/www/cgi-bin$ ls -R

It looks like you have a lot of CGI scripts installed, so the only way
to find out how to reach the awstats page is to read the Apache
configuration.

First, check if you have /etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf (as
described in /usr/share/doc/awstats/README.Debian.gz).
Further, is that config enabled? Does the symbolic link
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/awstats.conf exist?

What is the content of that file?

>ss -nlpt
>A new to me command but:

Hmm, sorry, I should have said that you need to run this command as
root, otherwise you won't see all services, and it won't show you the
process name. `ss` is a replacement for the `netstat` command.

Connection refused, awstats.pl isn't there.

Hummmm,
oot@coyote:conf-available$ locate awstats.pl
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
root@coyote:conf-available$  

odd place.  Soft link it to the above /var/www/cgi-bin?

and:
root@coyote:conf-available$ ls -1 `locate awstats.conf`
/etc/awstats/awstats.conf
/etc/awstats/awstats.conf.local
/var/lib/dpkg/info/awstats.conffiles

So obviously apache2 has zero knowledge of awstats, yet awstats was 
installed here from the stretch repo's?????

Same story it appears for awffull whose output I like slightly better. Zero 
connection to apache2.

In wheezy, all this Just Worked. Running slowly out of hair, but it went grey 20 years back.
anyway. :)

Thanks Thomas.

Ok, from the output of ss it looks like you are running Apache on port
443, so you can try https://localhost/cgi-bin/awstats.pl

It looks like Apache is also running on other ports, but I have no idea
what protocol they are serving.

You probably need to enable this config with
a2enconf awstats

and then restart Apache.

>odd place.  Soft link it to the above /var/www/cgi-bin?

No, the config file above will tell Apache where to find the binary.

Have a look in /usr/share/doc/awstats/README.Debian.gz this is described
there.

It could be worse, they could have fallen out before they had time to
turn gray.

They are doing that too, darn it. Can't be because they are 86 yo can it? 
Heck at my age I don't even buy green banana's.  But the heart mechanics 
up at WVU/Ruby looked at their work a month back, sent me home with a 
modified script and told me to come back next year for another checkup. 
Must have confidence in their work. ;-)
