I got this working – see how to download the Simple 1and1 Awstats Installer.
I worked for a while and made an Awstats installer for 1and1 web hosting clients. It only works for the business and developer accounts, because it needs to create a cron job to read the logs every night at midnight. I have the feeling that most people use the cheaper “Home” account.
It only works in a 1and1 environment because I hard coded the log format that 1and1 uses. I could redo it to work on more standard linux platforms, but sites that have CPanel don’t need it.
I wish I had checked the cron thing before I started writing the programs.
