Perl - awstats.pl config

[Cyril Lavier]

Hi Veerle.

I don't know if this will help you, but I also run an awstats with 
nginx, and here is how I managed to make it work.

First, I made a symlink from /var/www/stats/awstats to /usr/lib/cgi-bin

Then, here is the configuration file (it's a virtual host) :

server {

     listen   80;
     listen   [::]:80;

     server_name  stats.yourwebsite.tld;

     access_log  /var/log/nginx/stats.yourwebsite.tld.access.log combined;
     error_log /var/log/nginx/stats.yourwebsite.tld.error.log;
     root   /var/www/stats;

     location ^~ /awstats-icon {
             alias /usr/share/awstats/icon/;
             access_log off;
     }

     location ^~ /awstatscss {
             alias /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/css/;
             access_log off;
     }

     location ^~ /awstatsclasses {
             alias /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/classes/;
                access_log off;
     }

     location ~ ^/.*\.pl$ {
             gzip off;
         fastcgi_pass  unix:/tmp/cgi.sock;
             fastcgi_index index.cgi;
             fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  
/var/www/stats$fastcgi_script_name;
             fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME    $fastcgi_script_name;
             fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
             fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
             fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
             fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;
             fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
             fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx;
             fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
             fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
             fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
             fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
             fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
             fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
             fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
                fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
             fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
         fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER        $remote_user;
     }

}

Then, you will be able to access your awstats by 
http://stats.yourwebsite.tld/awstats/awstats.pl

And don't hesitate to add authentication.

Thanks.
