Here is a copy of the instructions to install awstats on my website. On Step 6
LogFile = "../ (assuming your log files are being placed in the directory)
--Do I actually type "../ ?

1. Download AWStats from (current file is awstats-6.5zip)
2. Unzip the file to your local computer (a number of folders will be created)
3. Using an FTP client (eg. Filezilla) or Netfirms File Manager, create a folder in your of your web account called "awstats" (/4. From the awstats file you unzipped in step 2 copy the "js", "classes", "css" and "icon" folders (located in the folder) to the "/ folder you just created in your website directory.
5. From the awstats file you unzipped in step 2 copy the contents of the "cgi-bin" folder into your cgi-bin website directory.
6. Edit the awstats.model.conf file and change the following parameters:

LogFile = "../ (assuming your log files are being placed in the directory).

SiteDomain = "DirIcons = "AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser = 1

7. Copy the new awstats.model.conf file to the cgi-bin directory (overwriting the default one).

8. Your stats are now installed. You can access them here: OR if your domain is being forwarded then please access your stats at (where membername is the Netfirms member name assigned to your Netfirms hosting account):
9. Click the "Update Now" link to process your log files each time you access the stats.
Once you have instaleld AWStats, please enable logging on your acount:

1. Login to the Netfirms Members Control Panel at 2. Click Site Tools
3. Under the Statistics section, click Log Files
4. Enter a directory where you would like your website's log file to be downloaded to
(NOTE: The log file must be stored somewhere within the /5. Click Enable
 
I get this error:

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.model.conf" nor "awstats.conf" after searching in path ".,/etc/awstats,/usr/local/etc/awstats,/etc,/etc/opt/awstats": No such file or directory

- Did you use the correct URL ?
Example: Example: - Did you create your config file 'awstats.model.conf' ?
If not, you can run "./../../tools/awstats_configure.pl" from command line, or create it manually.

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
