NGINX and AWStats

Virtualmin
1

If there anyway to get nginx and awstats to work together?

Does virtualmin use awstats to monitor account’s bandwidth?

I know you can change NGINX’s log format so I would think they could be some automated way to do it?

Thanks.

Howdy,

Well, the problem there is that Virtualmin relies on the ability to run awstats.pl for viewing stats – and Nginx can’t run CGI scripts.

There is a workaround that you could setup manually – there’s a way to have Awstats build static pages, rather than dynamically displaying the stats.

There’s some details on doing that here:

I looked on nginx wiki and you could take the script here and use it as a fastcgi-type server for perl scripts. I ALSO know that you can use the perl module in nginx to run perl directly thus probably taking advantage of awstats.
