Awstats

Frihost Forum Index -> Support and Web Hosting -> Web Hosting Support

Is there anyway to ignore my own IP address for Awstats? It seems that every time it awstats updates, that it removes my IP that I want to ignore from the config file. Previously, I followed these instructions taken from another post:

Is there away so that you can make awstats ignore your own IP address? I'm looking around and I'm not finding the solution.

1) You'll have to locate your awstats.conf file on your server. (This should be somewhere in the 'awstats' directory. I forget exactly where as it's been a long time since I ran AwStats online. I have it installed offline on my home development server.)

2) Open the awstats.conf file in any good text editor (Windows XP version of Notepad will do fine although not the best)

3) Do a search for SkipHosts=""

4) Enter your IP address between the double quotation marks (e.g., SkipHosts="IP address goes here")

5) Save the file.

The next time you run Awstats, your IP address should be excluded from the results (however all previous accesses by your IP will still remain in the reports.)

Ah, thanks a lot for the information.

I found the exact pathfile for the .conf through my FTP by going through TMP -> awstats -> awstats.subdomain.frihost.net.conf

However even after following his and then finding the .conf file, it still records hits from my own IP when Awstats updates. So how do I make it permanantly not record my hits by my own IP?

Honestly, I have no idea how to do this.

Maybe someone else has an idea on how to do this?
