- Awstats layout problem.
- Posted by Martin Harran on January 1st, 2006
Happy New Year everybody.
I've installed Awstats on one of my websites (V6.4 on W2003, IIS 6.0)
Everything seems to be running OK except for the layout of the reports. When
I look at examples on the Web, the menu is down the left hand side and there
is a combo box at the top allowing you to select the year/month for Reported
Period.
On my own server, the menu is at the top and the Reported Period combo is
missing so this morning I can only see the 2006 stats and can't access those
for 2005.
I have a feeling that I'm missing something simple in the configuration file
but I've gone through the documenatation and can't figure it out. Can anyone
explain?

How do you do?
UseFramesWhenCGI=1
and
ShowMenu=1
Note: could be I got the wrong config settings but I'm pretty sure those
are they - and incidently IIRC these are the default settings.

Both those are ok, I've discovered since that reason I wasn't getting the
dropdown box is that I was using -staticlinks. When I leave this out,the
dropdown appears but it doesn't work, gives a CGI error; I think this has
something to do with Awstats not being 100% comfortable with Windows/IIS

hrmm - I reckon that's a red herring. I have AWStats installed on several
win/iis servers without (major) issue.
have you seen this doc:

Thanks for that, William, I had searched fruitlessly for a decent paper on
Awstats and IIS - that one is excellent.
As I said originally, I was sure I was missing something simple, and I was
right - I hadn't added perl to the web extensions for the site where I was
creating the output, hence the 404 errors when I tried to update dynamically

Everything seems ok now but I'm curious about why I'm still getting the menu
along the top instead of down the side as in the various examples I have
seen elsewhere - is that a CSS thing?

cool
Not CSS - AWStats isn't that subtle. It's a frames thing.
From the default config (awstats.model.conf) ...
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# OPTIONAL APPEARANCE SETUP SECTION (Not required but increase AWStats
features)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# When you use AWStats as a CGI, you can have the reports shown in HTML
frames.
# Frames are only available for report viewed dynamically. When you build
# pages from command line, this option is not used and no frames are built.
# Possible values: 0 or 1
# Default: 1
#
UseFramesWhenCGI=1
