Note :
You do not have to install W3Perl on your provider
server if you have access to your logs from a web interface.
If so, just install W3Perl locally and activate in the configuration file the option to retrieve automatically
your logfiles.
It is really easier to install W3Perl this way and it will save your
provider CPU .. who will be very happy.
* First STAGE : Install the scripts
- Follow the Webmaster (with CGI) or User (without CGI) installation procedure.
* 2nd STAGE : Building configuration file
- If you have CGI access, use the web administration interface to
build your own configuration file. All you need is to select the retrieve external logfile option.
- People without CGI will have to build their own configuration
manually or use the online tool. Again, don't forget to select the retrieve external logfile option.
Some configuration files are available as examples.
* 3rd STAGE : Ready
- You should now be able to analyse your logs.
- Run the cron-w3perl.pl script with the -a flag to reset all your
stats.
- You can use a crontab if available to schedule the stats to update
with the following command 'cron-w3perl.pl -e' to run daily
* Problem ?
If you have any trouble with w3perl, please check installation was
successful. You can contact me if you have serious trouble.
