Securing AWSTATS

[eugene]

I suggest that all users secure their awstats directories.

In ENSIM, you can go to
Files & Directories | Manage Web Groups

[list]Add a group (for example, "statsgroup")
Now, add at least one user to that group (Manage Users)
The next step is to secure the /awstats/ directory.
[list] link.
Scroll down to "/var/www/html/awstats/" and click the lock icon. Set the AuthName to anything you wish (for example, "Site Stats"), select a group, and click "Protect".[list]
There is one more directory you need to protect. Unfortunately, this one is not as direct as the previous one.

If you are on ENSIM1, you can copy and paste this URL into your browser. Please adjust for hosting on other machines.

[list]

https://216.12.208.216:19638/webhost/services/virtualhosting/siteadmin/services/apache/form_htaccess?fullpath=/home/virtual/site130/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats&path=/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats
This will allow you to protect the cgi-bin/awstats directory. (Ensim only displays directories under '/var/www/html'). I suggest you set the same AuthName and group settings as you had on the previous protect operation.

In ENSIM, open the "Protect Directories" link in a new window. Click on any unprotected directory link, for example, "/var/www/html/awstats".

Your browser will display a location URL like (the following is MY string):

https://216.12.208.216:19638/webhost/services/virtualhosting/siteadmin/services/apache/form_htaccess?fullpath=/home/virtual/site130/fst/var/www/html/awstats&path=/var/www/html/awstats

Copy your own URL string and modify it. Your string will probably not be for site130.
