Getting AWStats to work in Ubuntu 12.04
- by koogee
I'm new to apache and i'm trying to set up AWStats on my ubuntu 12.04 server. I've followed the guide at Ubuntu docs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AWStats
I set it up according to the instructions and awstats is able to generate initial stats from apache log successfully. I placed the links to awstats in the default virtual host file. However when I try to run http://server-ip-address:8080/awstats/awstats.pl, I get:
Error: SiteDomain parameter not defined in your config/domain file. You must edit it for using this version of AWStats.
Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
Here is my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/saad/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/saad/www/>

Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The only three variables I edited in /etc/awstats/awstats.conf are:
LogFile="/var/log/apache2/access.log"
SiteDomain="server-name.noip.org"
HostAliases="localhost 127.0.0.1 server-name.no-ip.org"
The apache server works fine and i'm able to access other pages stored on the server. Any guidance would be welcome.
