* Put awstats.pl file in your cgi-bin directory (or other cgi directory).

* If necessary (on some Unix OS), in awstats.pl file, edit the first line
#!/usr/bin/perl
to reflect the path were your perl interpreter is installed. It might be

* Copy awstats.model.conf into awstats.www.myserver.mydomain.conf or

file called awstats.www.myserver.mydomain.conf, and, if not found, will
look for awstats.conf). Whatever the name you choose, edit this new file

- Check if "LogFormat" has the value "1" (it means "apache combined log
format").

To increase speed:
- Use last AWStats version
- Launch AWStats more often (from crontab or a scheduler)
