W3Perl 3.133 is the first version with a MacOS installer. Any feedback
on improvements is welcome.
* First STAGE : Install the scripts
- Package : Download the dmg file, open the disk image and click on the pkg file to install the scripts
OR
- Manual : If you want to use the tar.gz package. Uncompress it in your
/Library/WebServer/Documents directory.
Then edit the install.pl file
and change the following settings :
$pathcgi = "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/w3perl"; and
$pathw3perl = "/Library/WebServer/Documents/w3perl";
and run the install.pl script as admin.
* 2nd STAGE : Build configuration file
- Now use your opened browser (http://127.0.0.1/w3perl/admin/) to build a configuration file.
- Click on Make configuration file and
follow the procedures outlined. By filling in the details you will
create a file called config.pl or use the
Clone option to use the default MacOS
file as a template.
- Once created, look for this file in /config/ and copy it to your /cgi-bin/w3perl directory.
* 3th STAGE : Ready
- You should now be able to analyse your logs.
- In admin go through the Launch area links that will start your statistics from zero.
- Then run the incremental statistics function every week to accumulate your
statistics (or use a crontab on MacOS X).
* Problem ?
