W3Perl Administration

 MANAGE 
 CONFIG 

    Make a new config
    First step is to create a configuration file for W3Perl. Some are provided for default configuration (Mandrake, IIS). If you want to use a default one, you can already launch the stats.

    Configuration can be build from scratch (make), from a default configuration provided (modify) or from your own build (clone).

    Several forms will help you to create a configuration file for W3Perl. All you need is to make some choices about the kind of stats you need and give informations about the kind of logfile your server is using.
    If you have already build a configuration file and just want to alter some fields, select the configuration file you have made and the forms will be filled with your previous choice.

    Check the configuration you have build are self-consistent. If you select stats about the countries, your logfile doesn't resolve IP address to hostname and you didn't select the reverse dns option, you'll be warmed about the problem.

    If you want to create a new configuration file using a previous one as a model, the 'clone' option will save you a lot of time, avoiding to fill again all the forms.
    You can also delete your configuration file if you think they will be no more useful. Be careful as they can't be recover.

    You can run the stats from the web interface. Select first which configuration file you want to use and then click on which stats you want to run.
    This script allow you to define when you want to run the different stats.
