#AWSTATS UBUNTU 20.04 APACHE INSTALL#

But for something as simple as it is, AWStats is surprisingly complex to get up and running, which is what inspired this guide. In the end, AWStats is good enough without being too much. It doesn’t spy, it uses no server resources, and it tells you 95 percent of what any spyware tool will tell you (provided you actually read the documentation) I went with AWStats because I’d used it in the past. I also really dislike running MySQL, and unfortunately Matomo requires MySQL, as does Open Web Analytics.īy process of elimination (no MySQL), and my very paltry requirements, the logical choice is a simple log analyzer. It is nice, but I don’t need or use most of what it offers. The resulting system will provide a Web, Mail, Mailinglist, DNS, and FTP Server. Now there are some self-hosted, open source spyware packages that I’ve used, Matomo being the best. This tutorial shows the installation of an Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) web hosting server with Apache 2.4, Postfix, Dovecot, Bind, and PureFTPD to prepare it for the installation of ISPConfig 3.2. Since I don’t track you I certainly don’t want third-party spyware tracking you, so that means any hosted service is out. I also enjoy seeing which countries visitors are coming from, though I recognize that VPNs make this information suspect.

When I do look all I want to see is how many people stop by in a given month and if there’s any one article that’s getting a lot of visitors. Apache is available within Ubuntu’s default software repositories, so you can install it using conventional package management tools. And I don’t really care how you got here. I don’t have to prove to anyone how much traffic I get. The “why the hell don’t I just use -insert popular spyware here-” part.

If all did not go well, feel free to drop whatever your error message is in a comment here and I’ll see if I can help.

If all went well you should see AWStats with a few stats in it. This article describes the steps to configure Apache virtual host on Ubuntu 20.04 server. This is done without suggesting the user that the same server is also responsible for other websites. Visit your new site in the browser at this URL (changing to the domains you’ve been using). Every domain or an individual website configured using the Apache will direct the visitor to a particular directory holding that website’s information. Save that mess of PHP as /etc/nginx/cgi-bin.php and then install php-fpm if you haven’t already:
