Webalizer stats without cpanel login

Sometimes we would just like to view the site stats, but without login to cPanel.

We can follow following steps in order to make available the site stats (webalizer) without login to cPanel:

1)Login to the server as root.

2)Go to the document root of the domain.

[root@server~]# cd /home/user/public_html

3)Open the .htaccess file. If it does not exist, create it.

[root@server~]# vi .htaccess

Insert the following line in the file:

Options +FollowSymLinks

4)Now lets create a symbolic link for the webalizer stats so it can be accessed without logging in to cpanel.

The webalizer stats for the domain are always available under /home/user/tmp/webalizer.

We will create a symbolic link for this.

[root@server~]# ln -s /home/user/tmp/webalizer domainname.stats

Assign proper ownership

[root@server~]# chown user.user domainname.stats

Assign appropriate permissions as well.

[root@server~]# chmod 755 /home/user/tmp/webalizer

5)Now you can access the webalizer stats without login to cPanel.

Access http://domain.com/domainname.stats/ to view the webalizer stats.
