* First STAGE : Install the scripts
- Run w3perl-abyss.exe
* 2nd STAGE: Create a cgi-bin directory
- Open your Console and click on the Host you wish to
configure.
- Go to Aliases and add a new Alias for:
Virtual Path: /cgi-bin
Real Path: cgi-bin
- Go to "Scripting Parameters", add a new
script path :
Virtual Path : "/cgi-bin"
Interface type of executables in this path : CGI
- Restart "Abyss Abyss Server".
* 3rd STAGE : Build configuration file
- Now use your opened browser to http://localhost/w3perl/admin/ to manage configuration files.
- Default configuration file is provided for Abyss Web Server :
config-abyss.pl. You should be able to use it without any modifications
if you are using a default Abyss server.
- If you want to make some modifications (for instance to specify your
server's name), select Modify a config and select the config-abyss file.
- If you want to build your own configuration file from scratch, click
on Make a new config and follow the procedures outlined. By filling in the details you will create a file called config.pl
* 4th STAGE : Ready
- You should now be able to analyse your logs.
- You can run the stats either from a web interface or the 'Start Menu'. Choose one and use always the same way.
1) Web interface : Nicer but you could receive a server timeout
a) In admin go through the Immediate Launch which allow to compute the stats.
b) Select the Abyss configuration file
c) Then click on the 'Init all stats' icon.
2) Windows Menu : Faster but more difficult to catch errors/warnings
a) Select 'Start Menu -> Program -> W3Perl -> Init'
- In order to watch the ouput, go back to the administration interface
and select the View stats
- You can use the command at to schedule the stats to update, add the command 'cron-w3perl.pl -e -c <configfile>' to run daily
* Problem ?
If you have any trouble with w3perl, please check installation was
successful. Edit the /w3perl/Config.txt files.
This is the configuration
parameters which will be use for w3perl installation. If you find some
Unix path inside Config.txt, then you should check the /cgi-bin/
directory have been created.
