When is cPanel going to include AWStats 6.6?

[johnburk]

On januari 6th AWstats 6.6 was launched. Currently cPabel is still using AWStats 6.4 from 16 Mar 2005.

I am using WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R118 and was wondering if anyone here knows when cPanel is going to include the latest AWStats?

You'd need to ask them directly. Probably the best thing to do would be to check bugzilla and if there isn't an enhancement entry for it, create one.

Thank you. I have added it to http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3776

Any news on whether this is going to appear in any cpanel updates in the near future?

Or is there a way we can manually install it, without breaking config files and such, and not having cpanel overwrite it with the older version when it does updates etc.?

First of all you NEED to place attached awstats.6.6.diff.txt file into "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.6.6.diff". (Remove .txt from the end!)
Then create bash script from contents below and run it.

You may wish to place the call to this script into /scripts/postupcp to force AWStats update after cPanel updates.

Enjoy!

#!/bin/bash

Thank you for the great script.

Concerning the patch I get an error message when I run the script:

Applying cPanel patch...
missing header for unified diff at line 3 of patch

It is not a problem, just ignore and enjoy improved AWStats

Many thanks, seems to work for me but I did get this error after running, is there a problem?

chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/awstats.pl
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/plugins
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/lib
chattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/lang

note the files/directories ARE actually there... did something change or did I goofup?

Seems like you run VPS which doesn't support chattr.

Ah, will it still work okay without chattr being applied?

(I take it a chmod 444 is not quite the same effect?)

Thanks for the script, worked like a charm.
If you want to run awstats immediately to check version:
./scripts/runstatsonce
Presumably, cPanel will not overwrite 6.6, with 6.x, neither will it update 6.x unless you call the script explicitly?
I don't have /scripts/postupcp, can I use /scripts/upcp ?

create /scripts/postupcp

UPCP will get overwritten by cpanel, postupcp is designed for you to add whatever things you want done AFTER cpanel does it's update and puts things the way they want it.

I'd love to see this script updated for 6.8 which has some nice fixes/new features.

[ispro]

Just edit version in the script and it should works just fine.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
