I would like to have Country stats in awstats

Although there are more complex/recommended ways of enabling country stats in awstats (the geoip plugin), a very quick and easy way to enable basic country stats in awstats is to edit:

/home/username/domains/domain.com/awstats/.data/awstats.domain.com.conf

and set:

DNSLookup=1

Note that this will likely slow down the computation of stats significantly, since many reverse IP lookups would need to be done.


A better method for doing the Country stats is to use the GeoIP plugin.
A very rough guide would be as follows (beyond our support):

1)

wget http://maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/c/GeoIP.tar.gz
tar xvzf GeoIP.tar.gz
cd GeoIP*
./configure
make
make install

2)

cpan -i Geo::IP

3) And the edit the domain's awstats conf file:

/home/username/domains/domain.com/awstats/.data/awstats.domain.com.conf

and set:

LoadPlugin="geoip GEOIP_STANDARD /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat"

You can leave the other setting as DNSLookups=0
