need an .htaccess that will allow for wordpress to run smoothly with awstats - GoFuckYourself.com

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 03-30-2008, 01:19 AM

ok, apparently i'm having some issues with my .htaccess not working smoothly to allow for both wordpress to run properly and to view my awstats properly at the same time. My host's tech support rewrote me a .htaccess file, but the new .htaccess they did for me kills my feeds and permalink structure to allow awstats to view properly. Anyone got something that'll work for me? I'd appreciate it.

You can disable Permalinks, there are some awesome traffic plugins for Wordpress and theres always Google Analytics, sometimes I'll disable permalinks for a quick peek at my stats that way but the results are the same that I get from plugins/Google.

i like awstats though, and i don't feel like turning off permalinks just to view my stats. surely there is a .htaccess rewrite out there that will do the trick.

I reckon Analytics kicks the shit out of AWStats

i tried the following but it doesn't seem to do shit when i try to view domain.com/awstats . it takes em to the 404 page

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond &#37;{REQUEST_URI} !^/awstats.*$ [NC] [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Care to share? I'm currently having the same issue.

Thanks.

Never mind. I guess it fixed itself somehow lol.

try this one, I know I did it on two of my sites but I'm not sure that this is the one I used, back up your old one and try this one

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(stats|failed_auth\.html).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [L]
</IfModule> 
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

interested to hear your solution AJC

and I reckon that Google Analytics spyware is the last thing a person should use

to all you guys having a problem with this, i did have it working and then it syopped when i recently upgraded apache an i couldn't figure out why. the reason was that my default 401 error page had changed in httpd.conf and i was getting a conflict with the password protected awstats folder, it was driving me nuts until i found the solution. for anyone who can't get it to work add a 401 error page to your html folder and the following line to your htaccess

ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml

so my working htaccess file is now

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
  RewriteEngine On 

  RewriteRule ^awstats(/.*)?$ - [L] 

  # BEGIN WordPress 
  RewriteCond &#37;{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L] 
  # END WordPress 
</IfModule>

it may look like a stupid solution but if you can't get it to work on your server give this a try.

i thought it was just log analysis software? it only uses resources when you update it manually or once a day with cron when it updates.

Overall analytics, tracks more 'things' and lets you view them in a pretty way. AWStats uses your server logs, and tracks far more traffic totals, errors, referrals, ect.. than analytics ever could.
