Permissions for webstats folder

M

Guest
How can I secure the webstats folder, generated by AWStats, so that it is not viewable by anonymous users?

Thanks,
Mike
 
modify
/etc/httpd/conf.d/awstats.conf
to include:

<Directory "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot">

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Description Here"
AuthUserFile /etc/awstats/awstats.pwd
require valide-user
</Directory>

then create the file:
/ect/awstats/awstats.pwd

then run this:
#/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/htpasswd -bm /etc/awstats/awstats.pwd $username $password

(replace $username and $password with what you want for a login)

you'll have to run the last cmd each time you need to add user

-that should do it.
