A lot of packages install documentation under /usr/share/doc - you might
try looking there or run "etcat files awstats |more" to check.

BTW, if you're interested in web stats, you may also like to try out
analog with reportmagic.

All gentoo web-application will be installed under /usr/share/webapps.
At least if they are using the webapps framework. But it is required for
all new webapp ebuilds and the old ones are being converted.

If you emerge a web application and you do not have the "vhost" use flag
set then the application will be automatically installed into your
standard web server directory (which is /var/www/localhost by default).
This installation is either done by copying all or linking all files
from /usr/share/webapp/yourwebapp/version/ into the web directory
(depending on the VHOST_LINK_TYPE in /etc/vhosts/webapp-config).

This way of installing does not have many advantages for a single domain
installation but once you have several domains served by one host you
will be very happy about the "vhost" use flag and webapp-config.

More details: "man webapp-config"

Gunnar

I definitely did not use the vhosts USE flag, but nothing was
installed to /var/www/localhost and everything was installed to
/usr/share/webapp. It sounds like webapp-config is for vhosters, but
that's not me. How would you suggest I get this running for a single
domain / single machine?

Hi Grant,

webapp-config is meant to be used by everyone even though its main
benefits are for vhosters.

Actually I might have been wrong about the /var/www/localhost. Depening
on how you set your hostname it might also be in /var/www/yourhostname.
The settings for webapp-config can be found in
/etc/vhosts/webapp-config. There is a root directory setting there that
will control where the applications will get installed.

But as long as you do not use the vhosts flag the installation to that
directory happens automatically. What are the last messages you get from
your emerge command?

Regards

Gunnar

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks a lot for your help. The last message I got from emerge was:

-----
Copy the /etc/awstats/awstats.model.conf to
/etc/awstats/awstats.<yourdomain>.conf and edit.
use the command
webapp-config
to install awstats for each virtual host. See proper man page
-----

I'd like to avoid the webapp-config stuff if I won't benefit from it.
How can I get awstats to install in the right place? I didn't use the
vhost USE flag.

- Grant
