+How can I compile and build statistics on a daily basis. I mean i want to have a full report

+<font class=CSolution>SOLUTION:</font><br>
+This is an non documented and not supported trick, as this is not the standard way of working:<br>\r
+First, run the update process at midnight (or on a log file that was rotated at midnight so that
+it contains only data for this particular day (you can choose another hour in night if you want
+to have days that "start" at an different hour).<br>
+Once the update process has been ran, MOVE (and not copy) the history file built by AWStats. For
+example on Unix like systems:<br>
+<i>mv &nbsp; mydirdata/awstatsMMYYYY.mydomain.txt &nbsp; mydirdate/awstatsDDMMYYYY.mydomain.txt</i><br>
+Note that the name has been changed by adding the day. Repeat this each day after the update process.<br>
+With this you will have one history file for each day. You can then see full stats for
+a particular day by adding the non documented parameter -day=DD on command line (with others
+like -month=MM and -year=YYYY). If ran from a browser you can also add &day=DD on URL.<br>\r
+However, if you have full day by day statistics, you don't have anymore statistics for full month,
