Where is Awstats?

[baijianpeng]

I noticed that when creating a new website in VestaCP (v0.9.8) , there is options about "enable Awstats", I checked. But I don't know where to see those stats of Awstats. There is no button or link for Awstats.

Did I missed something?

Thank you.

Actually there is a link. After enabling Awstats for the desired domain go back to the domain list page (https://your-domain.com:8083/list/web/) and when hover in that specific domain you will see an extra link "OPEN WEBSTATS". Alternatively you can see your stats directly in your-domain.com/vstats/. The same goes for Webalizer.

Thank you. I found this link on the tooltip pop-up ( it is very hard to find out).

However, when I clicked that link, I got following 403 error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /vstats/ on this server.

What may be the cause?

Thank you.

The problem is with permissions.

Code: Select all

chmod 777 -R /home/admin/web/your-domain.com/stats

With the command above, you will make your Awstats stats accessible for everybody. If you want to add some security or prevent people from looking up your stats, you can check the stats authorization box for your domain in Vesta.

I think, if I was opening that link from my VestaCP Panel instead of input it directly to the address bar of my browser, it should be opened without extra permission settings.

Why this script can not detect that I was the person that had already login in to the VestaCP ? I think this means I should have the right permission to access Awstats pages.

If I set 777 to that path, it will become risky.

Check if 644 or 655 could do the trick.

[baijianpeng]

My test indicates that 644 and 655 both can not work. Finally I found out that 744 can work, but the public can also open the stats page.

This is not a good solution.

Thank you.

As I said above

If you want to add some security or prevent people from looking up your stats, you can check the stats authorization box for your domain in Vesta.

[baijianpeng]

Oh, sorry, I just did not notice the "stats authorization " box. Now I saw it.

Ok, this can prevent public access of the web stats.

Thank you very much!

Solution.

Code: Select all

chmod 744 /home/admin/web/example.com/stats
