| 34 | is AWStats / Features Overview<br> |
| 35 | </h1> |
| 36 | <br> |
| 37 | <br> |
| 38 | AWStats is short for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A</span>dvanced |
| 39 | <span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>eb <span |
| 40 | style="text-decoration: underline;">Stat</span>istic<span |
| 41 | style="text-decoration: underline;">s</span>. <b>AWStats is </b><b>powerful |
| 42 | log analyzer which creates advanced web, ftp, mail and streaming |
| 43 | server statistics reports</b> based on the rich data contained in |
| 44 | server logs. Data is graphically presented in <b>easy to read |
| 45 | web pages</b>. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | <br> |
| 48 | <br> |
| 49 | Designed with flexibility in mind, AWStats can be run through a web |
| 50 | browser <b>CGI (</b>common |
| 51 | gateway interface) or directly from the operating system<b> command line</b>. |
| 52 | Through the use of intermediary data base files, AWStats is able to |
| 53 | quickly process large log files, as often desired. |
| 54 | With support for both standard and custom log format definitions, |
| 55 | AWStats can analyze log files from Apache (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF or |
| 56 | common/CLF log |
| 57 | format), |
| 58 | Microsoft's IIS (W3C log format), |
| 59 | WebStar and most web, proxy, wap and streaming media servers as well as |
| 60 | ftp and mail server logs.<br> |
| 61 | <br> |
| 62 | See how the most famous open source statistics tools (AWStats, Analog, |
| 63 | Webalizer) stack up feature by feature in this <a |
| 64 | href="awstats_compare.html#COMPARISON">comparison |
| 65 | table</a>.<br> |

| 69 | General Public License</a>. The <a href="awstats_license.html">license |
| 70 | chart</a> illustrates what you |
| 71 | can and cannot do.<br> |
| 72 | As AWStats works from the command line as well as a CGI, it is |
| 73 | compatible with <a href="awstats_whp.html">web hosting providers |
| 74 | which allow CGI and log access</a>.<br> |

| 179 | <b>Requirements</b>:<br> |
| 180 | AWStats usage has the following requirements:<br> |
| 181 | * You must have access to the server logs for the reporting you want to |
| 182 | perform |
| 183 | (web/ftp/mail).<br> |
| 184 | * You must be able to run perl scripts (.pl files) from command line |
| 185 | and/or as a CGI. If not, you can solve this by downloading latest |
| 186 | Perl version at <a href="http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl/">ActivePerl</a> |
| 187 | (<font color="#221188">Win32</font>) or <a |
| 188 | href="http://www.perl.com/pub/language/info/software.html">Perl.com</a> |
| 189 | (<font color="#221188">Unix/Linux/Other</font>).<br> |
| 190 | See <a href="awstats_faq.html#SERVERSOS">AWStats F.A.Q.</a> for |
