Install Awstats 6.5 Without Ports
Awstats in ports is still marked "forbidden". I like to check out the web logs when I'm bored. I decide to install Awstats 6.5 in the traditional way instead of waiting for the port release. Since I have used Awstats before, the domain configuration files, .htaccess and password files for directory protection are still there, "make deinstall" doesn't delete them. The installation only took several minutes.
# cd /usr/local/www
# wget http://awstats.sourceforge.net/files/awstats-6.5.tar.gz
# tar xvf awstats-6.5.tar.gz
# chmod +rx awstats-6.5
# cd tools
# ./awstats_configure.pl
# apachectl graceful
Now, Awstats is ready without directory protection. If you use "online update mode" for Awstats like me, protecting the stats is recommended.
Please note that installing from ports is preferred whenever possible, this is only my temporary solution.
