SiteDomain="mysite.com"
Include "/etc/awstats/awstats.conf.local"
</pre>

* create <code>/etc/cron.daily/awstats</code> and include two lines for each virtual host:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -update > /dev/null
/usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysite -output -staticlinks > /var/www/abc123/awstats.mysite.html
</pre>

* create the output directory:
<pre>
mkdir /var/www/abc123
</pre>

* create a virtual host for the stats
<pre>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite.com
ServerName mysite.com
DirectoryIndex list.html
DocumentRoot /var/www/def456
Alias /icon "/usr/share/awstats/icon/"

<Directory /var/www/def456>

AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/stats.passwd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

* You may also want to password protect the directory (see [[apache]] notes).
