How To Install, Secure, And Automate AWStats (CentOS/RHEL) AWStats is a free and very powerful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. It can analyze log files from all major server tools and convert them into nice graphical display. There are a lot of articles out there for AWStats, the reason I decided to write this one was to consolidate all the different tips and tricks I've learned through my journey into one comprehensive article associating the fantastic efforts of so many out there.

In my case I have a different scenario, and my Apache is manually installed, is not installed by YUM, I do compile my Apache installation and it is compiled to /usr/local/apache2 and due to that I'm facing difficulties to implement AWStats on my environment. Do you know how can I go around that problem and start to using AWStat on a specifc environment like that?
