[TUTORIAL] Get Awstats outside of cpanel

Marcvs · 10-27-2006, 12:39 AM

Here is a more secure version of getting your awstats outside of cpanel.

Demo

Rep Appreciated

First Create a file called;

awconfig.php

enter this into it (edit to suit your domain)

PHP Code:

  
<?

 
$user = 'cpusername';//your cpanel username 

$pass = 'pass';//your cpanel password 

$domain = 'onebuckdirectory.com';//do not include 'http://' or 'www.' 

 
$config_domain = 'onebuckdirectory.com'; //The Domain You want the Awstats to show (can be altered in browser) 

 
$dynamic_images = true; //Ignore at the moment

$image_directory = './awstats_images/'; //Ignore at the moment! 

 
?>

Then create a second file called index.php

Put This code in (no need to edit anything)

PHP Code:

  
<?

 
 
require ('awconfig.php');

 
//retrieves the file, either .pl or .png

function get_file($fileQuery)

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/webmaster-tutorials/251364-tutorial-get-awstats-outside-of-cpanel.html
{

  global $user, $pass, $domain;

  return file_get_contents("http://$user:$pass@$domain:2082/".$fileQuery);

}

 
$requesting_image = (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],'.png')===false)?false:true;

 
if($requesting_image) //it's a .png file...

{

  if(!$dynamic_images && !is_dir($image_directory))

  {

    exit;

  }

  $fileQuery = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

}

elseif(empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']))//probably first time to access page...

{

    if(empty($config_domain))

    {

        $config_domain = $domain;

    }

  $fileQuery = "awstats.pl?config=$config_domain";

}

else //otherwise, all other accesses

{

  $fileQuery = 'awstats.pl?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

}

 
$file = get_file($fileQuery);

 
//check again to see if it was a .png file

//if it's not, replace the links

if(!$requesting_image)

{

  $file = str_replace('awstats.pl', basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), $file);

 
  if($dynamic_images)

  {

    $imgsrc_search = '="/images';

    $imgsrc_replace = '="'.basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'?images';

  }

  else

  {

    $imgsrc_search = 'src="http://cdn.namepros.com/images/awstats/';

    $imgsrc_replace = 'src="'.$image_directory;

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=251364
  }

 
  $file = str_replace($imgsrc_search, $imgsrc_replace, $file);

  $file = str_replace($spam_words, 'SPAM', $file);

}

else //if it is a png, output appropriate header

{

  header("Content-type: image/png");

}

 
//output the file

echo $file;

?>

Then upload both to your webserver in an awstats directory and away you go, i will soon do a version where the config is outside the public_html folder.

Step 1: Go to /tmp/awstats/

Step 2: Edit awstats.yourdomain.com.conf and change AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=0 to AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1

Step 3: Goto Awstats and use the Update Now button/link which will now appear

eNOOBz · 12-14-2006, 08:21 AM

Heres another link, you could probably use it for fixing any bugs (I haven't tested this)

That is very useful.

Thanks for sharing.
