access to awstats to visitors

[andreaf]

I'd like to provide awstats for visitor or at least for clinets without their own cpanel to manage their website (I have some cheap hosting plans like these).
Is it possible to have an address like:
http://www.mysite.com/awstats
instead of having to connect each time to cpanel?
Thanks

Yep - you can download and install it in your own webspace...

Anthony,
I didn't explain well what I meant.
I've some customers but I don't want to give access to cpanel even if I created a cpanel for their site.
I'm the only one who can access to their cpanel to add e-mail accounts, forwarders...
I also check their webstats and I would like to allow them to see their stats WITHOUT logging to cpanel.

Is this possible?
Can I provide them a web address as:
http://theirsite/awstats.pl?framename=index&lang=en
instead of (cpanel mode)
http://theirsite:2082/awstats.pl?fra...=index&lang=en

I hope I've explained better what I meant!!!

Thanks

Yep - thats what I meant.

You can install it ito your clients cgi-bin directory

So it would be accessed like this....

http://theirsite/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?...=index&lang=en

I havent done it - but Ive seen it done many times on other sites

Here is a guide I just found for you

Is there any way of doing this if you do not have CGI access?

Try this and make sure you set the proper permissions on your awstats dir.

<?
//include("header.php");

if($QUERY_STRING == ""){$query = "config=yourdomain.com";}else{$query=$QUERY_STRING;};

exec("/usr/bin/curl 'http://usernameassword@yourdomain.com:2082/awstats.pl?$query'",$return_message_array, $return_number);

for ($i = 0; $i < count($return_message_array); $i++) {
$results = $results.$return_message_array[$i];
}

if($query == "config=yourdomain.com"){$results = str_replace("src=\"", "src=\"?", $results);}

$results = str_replace("href=\"", "href=\"?", $results);
$results = str_replace("awstats.pl?", "", $results);

echo $results;

//include("footer.php");
?>

replace that smilie with : p

Hi,

I've tried this, and I've tried something very similar, except you can require authentication of your choosing, found here http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/he...isticspage.htm but am unable to get it to work. I don't get any errors, just a completely blank page.

I'm not entirely sure what 'awstats dir' you are referring to when mentioning permissions though. Maybe that's the problem. I have set permissions on /../user/tmp/awstats to 'rwxr xr x'. Is this the one you meant? I am using cPanel 8.5.4-RELEASE 72 and Theme cPanel X v2.2.6.

The stats are there when I go in via cpanel or directly to the domain.com:2082/awstats.pl?config=domain.com , just nothing is being returned by this script or the other.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, v

Ps. The other script I mentioned is discussed in this thread;

This script (the one by jackal) sends usernameassword to access awstats, but really it opens the way to cpanel!!!!

I thinks this is a fail for security.

Bye.

[jackal]

Hello, I did not ask you to use did I?

[andreaf]

I would like to know if it's possible to mask username and password as it would really open the way to cpanel and I don't want anyone to access the cpanel (even the customer).

Any reply is truly appreciated!

I've found a solution in Awstats site.
1. Put awstats.pl in a access protected directory. Use links for every directory of awstats (lang, lib, plugin, images) to cpanel awstats installation.
2. In this directory put the config files of every subdomain (I don't know why, but awstats.pl can't read cpanel awstats config files). Or you can make a link (ln -s)
3. In the config file set:
AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=1
4. In the config files of each subdomain set the name of the allowed users:
AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers="username"

I think I didn't forget anything.

That's all!
