AWStats is a free and open-source web analytics tool that provides detailed website statistics. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install AWStats on Manjaro:
Before proceeding with the installation, you should update your Manjaro system to make sure that you have the latest software and security updates. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
To install AWStats, open your terminal and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S awstats
This command will install AWStats on your Manjaro system.
After the installation, you need to configure AWStats to work with your website. The configuration file is located at /etc/awstats/awstats.conf. Open this file with your favorite text editor.
Find the following lines in the configuration file:
LogFile="/var/log/httpd/access_log"
SiteDomain="localhost"
HostAliases="localhost 127.0.0.1"
Change the LogFile path to the path of your website's access log file. If you're not sure where your access log file is located, check your web server's documentation.
Change the SiteDomain to your website's domain name.
If you have any additional domain names that point to your website, you can add them to the HostAliases parameter as a space-separated list.
To generate website statistics, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=example.com -update
Replace example.com with the name of the website you want to generate statistics for.
This command will generate statistics for your website and store them in the /var/lib/awstats/ directory.
To access the AWStats web interface, open your web browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:
http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=example.com
Replace example.com with the name of the website you want to view statistics for.
You should now see the AWStats interface and be able to view your website's statistics.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured AWStats on your Manjaro system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
