AWStats

Configuring a single AWStats site for multiple domains on Dreamhost

AWStats LogoAWStats is one of the more popular free open source statistics packages available. Dreamhost doesn't make it automatically available, you need to install it yourself. Dreamhost has a number of good wiki articles on installing AWStats, but they presuppose installing in a website subdirectory. In my case, I wanted a dedicated statistics website for displaying statistics from other websites.

The following are notes I made while installing AWStats. AWStats isn't intended for install exactly the way I did it, but this configuration does work. Ostensively I'm making them available so they will benefit others, but in reality I'm posting them here so I can find them again if I need them! :-)

The source information came from the Dreamhost wiki articles. These are listed in the Reference section at the end of this article.
