HOW TO: Update to Awstats 6.5

[typhon]

This is actually extremely simple:

1) Download 6.5 from sourceforge:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/a...ats-6.5.tar.gz
2) Extract awstats.pl file
3) Open awstats.pl and find the following line:

else { @PossibleConfigDir=("$DIR","/etc/awstats","/usr/local/etc/awstats","/etc","/etc/opt/awstats"); }

replace it with:

	else {
		my $homedir = (getpwuid($>))[7];
		my $awdir = "$homedir" . "/tmp/awstats/"; if ($ENV{'AWSTATS_SSL_DIR'}) { $awdir .= "ssl/"; }
		@PossibleConfigDir=("$DIR",$awdir,"/etc/opt/awstats","/etc/awstats","/etc","/usr/local/etc/awstats");
	}

4) Find this line:

warning("$message");

comment it out to:

#warning("$message");

5) Upload to your webserver
6) move the old awstats.pl file:

mv /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl.bak

7) Move the new one in place:

mv /path/to/awstats.pl /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl

8) Set proper permissions:

chown root:root /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl
chmod 0755 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl

You should be all good to go
