Hi,

We are a youth debating website http://www.truetube.co.uk  who use Awstats.

We have noticed that the server page featuring the stats info is included in the pages viewed section even though results from our office proxy IP address should not be included.

Only three people have logins for the stats and none of us really view the pages outside of work so it is strange that these pages are being viewed in this way and are appearing in our stats.

Kind regards

I believe my IT manager did it through the config file. using something like Skiphosts="123.123.123.123" like in the FAQ on AWstats site.

Stats are password protected 

Sorry but I re-posted the comment again because I forgot

thanks for replying

Can't seem to find this Report, perhaps we've not enabled it.

Is it in the left hand navigation?

thanks 

How is it possible to edit the config file without the .NET environment

I can see the awstats.conf file in the local stats folder that can be opened in WordPad

Sorry I only have theoretical experince with config files 

Ok - the awstats.conf that resides on the server does not contain actual code, merely an explanation of how to set up (see below)

# AWSTATS CONFIGURE FILE 6.3
#—————————————————————————–
# Copy this file into awstats.www.mydomain.conf and edit this new config file
# to setup AWStats (See documentation in docs/ directory).
# The config file must be in /etc/awstats, /usr/local/etc/awstats or /etc (for
# Unix/Linux) or same directory than awstats.pl (Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux…)
# To include an environment variable in any parameter (AWStats will replace
# it with its value when reading it), follow the example:
# Parameter="__ENVNAME__"
# Note that environment variable AWSTATS_CURRENT_CONFIG is always defined with
# the config value in an AWStats running session and can be used like others.

# MAIN SETUP SECTION (Required to make AWStats work)

# "LogFile" contains the web, ftp or mail server log file to analyze.
# Possible values: A full path, or a relative path from awstats.pl directory.
# Example: "/var/log/apache/access.log"
# Example: "../logs/mycombinedlog.log"
# You can also use tags in this filename if you need a dynamic file name
# depending on date or time (Replacement is made by AWStats at the beginning
# of its execution). This is available tags :
#   %YYYY-n  is replaced with 4 digits year we were n hours ago
#   %YY-n    is replaced with 2 digits year we were n hours ago
#   %MM-n    is replaced with 2 digits month we were n hours ago
#   %MO-n    is replaced with 3 letters month we were n hours ago
#   %DD-n    is replaced with day we were n hours ago
#   %HH-n    is replaced with hour we were n hours ago
#   %NS-n    is replaced with number of seconds at 00:00 since 1970
#   %WM-n    is replaced with the week number in month (1-5)
#   %Wm-n    is replaced with the week number in month (0-4)
#   %WY-n    is replaced with the week number in year (01-52)
#   %Wy-n    is replaced with the week number in year (00-51)
#   %DW-n    is replaced with the day number in week (1-7, 1=sunday)
#                              use n=24 if you need (1-7, 1=monday)
#   %Dw-n    is replaced with the day number in week (0-6, 0=sunday)
#                              use n=24 if you need (0-6, 0=monday)
#   Use 0 for n if you need current year, month, day, hour…
# Example: "/var/log/access_log.%YYYY-0%MM-0%DD-0.log"
# Example: "C:/WINNT/system32/LogFiles/W3SVC1/ex%YY-24%MM-24%DD-24.log"
# You can also use a pipe if log file come from a pipe :
# Example: "gzip -d </var/log/apache/access.log.gz |"
# If there is several log files from load balancing servers :
# Example: "/pathtotools/logresolvemerge.pl *.log |"
#
LogFile="zcat -f `find /home_____logs/ -name '*-access_log*' -newer dnscachelastupdate.txt | sort -r` |"

# Enter the log file type you want to analyze.
# Possible values:
#  W - For a web log file
#  S - For a streaming log file
#  M - For a mail log file
#  F - For a ftp log file
# Example: W
# Default: W
#
LogType=W

etc. etc. etc. etc. 

Thank you - it's starting to make sense now

In the stats for Authenticated Users there is the administrator login but also thousands of "Other logins (and/or anonymous users)" accessing our stats

Any idea how this happens bearing in mind there are only 3 people with the administrator password protected logins

Also need to block an IP, What is the code

many thanks
