First use



If you can run cron-w3perl.pl, just use it ! Run cron-w3perl.pl -h to view what options are available to you.

If you can't use cron-w3perl.pl (NT users), follow this instruction to launch the scripts in the right order. Don't launch all scripts together as some scripts are using temporary files (especially for graph output).

Use the administration interface to launch the scripts except if you don't have a cgi-bin access of course.

Test ouput
Just run cron-hour.pl to check no error is reported.
Then run cron-pages.pl using a small logfile to avoid a long wait. (or you can specify a short date intervalle with the cron-pages option available : see cron-pages.pl -h for help).

Update your config.pl file to change value, add directories, unselect hosts....and rerun cron-pages.pl.
When your tunning is fine, let's go to the 'First use'. If you modify the configuration file later, you'll need to rerun cron-pages (except if you change only data which affect graphical ouput)!

First use
cron-url.pl Will map URL to title
cron-pages.pl Will conpute the main stats
others scripts Will conpute others stats
cron-pages.pl -u Will update your stats homepage

Daily use
You don't have to run all scripts every day, monthly stats can be computed only the first day of each month, weekly stats only once a week. Document stats (cron-url.pl) can be launch only once a week if you don't update your web everyday. Referer, agent and error can be run everyday as they are running in a incremental way and their informations are really useful.

cron-inc.pl Will conpute the main stats
others scripts Will conpute others stats
