Hello,
I'm 'playing' with awstats during the last 2 days, reading docs, building stats, …
I saw on the awstats demo that the "menu" is on the left of the page, but as results on my computer I get menu on the top of the page.
How can I do to present the page as displayed in the demo ?
Thx for your help

Hi,
If you access the reports through the awstats.pl application, you get the menu in a frame at the left side. If you create "static" reports (report_name.html ), the menu is at the top and there is no drop down menu to go from one month to another.

Thanks,
As you said, I can now see the drop down list for months but the menu is still on the top
Any idea ?
Something special in the config ?

You need to set the UseFramesWhenCGI option in the AWStats config file:
UseFramesWhenCGI=1
It is the default value, but maybe someone changed it in your setup.

I'm really sorry but this is done : UseFramesWhenCGI=1
I'm using the 6.7 version. Is it the reason ?

This option works in 6.7 too.
You mean that there are no frames in your CGI pages although the option is set ?
Please make sure there is only one occurence of UseFramesWhenCGI in the AWStats config file.

Yes, I looked into the generated html pages, and there is no frames.
I activate the debug an dlooking into the perl script.
This line of code :
if ($ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'} && $UseFramesWhenCGI && $HTMLOutput{'main'} && ! $PluginMode)
ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'} =
After this line, $FrameName is set to main.
Is it normal ? I'm not sure.
Thks for your help.

The problem is that you generate reports as static HTML pages. You can only view the menu at the left side when you use AWStats as a CGI.
It means that awstats.pl must be available from your browser and that you have to enter a URL like the following in the address bar :
http:/ /ww w.your_site.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=your_site.com

You have to update (= build) the stats as you already do with :
perl /www/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update …
There is no need to use awstats_buildstaticpages.pl .
When the stats have been updated, you should be able to view them with :
http:/<:em>/ww<:em>w.your_site.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=your_site.com
This should work if your host accepts that you run Perl scripts.

Depending on your web server and on its configuration, you need to:
- make sure the web server is configured to run Perl scripts from the browser
- know which directories should be used for that (it is usually cgi-bin but it could be different)
- check what the path in the URL must be (web servers allow you to remap the path of some directories; this is called “alias” by Apache)
When this is done, it will work like a charm !

Try this:
http ://MYDOMAIN.COM/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
?config=MYDOMAIN
All one line, of course. I had to break it for it to all show in the comment window.

It is possible to get the drop down menu, where you can select period, at the top of the generated static pages by patching AWStats.
Please refer to Installing Mulitple-Month Patch for AWStats for more information.
