In my case the new files looked like this: This will list the files and tell you who the owner is. CONF files if you accidently included them with the. Reason is that the new server started collecting stats and I didn’t want to overwrite any of the old ones. if it asks you to overwrite any of the files, I personally said NO.navigate to the new folder containing the log files.log into the server through SSH (you may be able to do it as any user but I did it as root to be sure I wouldn’t have hiccups).
AWSTATS HOSTS ZIP
upload the stats files in new directory you just created through cpanel’s file manager (if there are many, you may want to zip them before uploading, and then extract).make a new folder of some sort in the public_html directory (“tempfilez” for example).Problem is, the CPanel File Manager may not always let you put stuff in the new /home/ACCOUNT/tmp/awstats folder. Once you’ve downloaded the files to your computer (and renamed them if necessary), you’ve got to upload them to the new server.

Tiny sidenote: you *may* be able to get away with not renaming them to match – in that case they’d probably just “show up” as other websites in the AWStats panel – not a biggy if that’s the case, but I haven’t tested without renaming.Īnyway, to the process. If you want to see what the new names are, browse over to your new site – as long as awstats has run (by default it only runs once every 24 hours), you should see the format of the new filenames. This is important to note, because if you used a different account name on your new server, you’re going to have to RENAME these files – particularly the somename and if necessary, anothernam e parts. or in the case of an addon domain, awst.

The files are named something similar to awstats 01 2007. The logs were easy enough to find in the original backup – they were in: Rather than doing the typical account backup, I had transferred the files and databases individually. Something little I wanted to do – I moved from a shared host to a VPS.
