Updating to AWStats 7.4.

   Last night, we had snow for the first time this winter and still now it’s snowing though a very light snowfall. Before getting to the main subject, I’ll introduce this tweet. Wow! Awesome! Cute!

   Getting into the main subject, I updated AWStats from 7.3 to 7.4. See ChangeLog and current features. Before this, I upgraded from ActivePerl-5.20.2.2002 to ActivePerl-5.22.1.2201. After upgrading PERL, I had a warning ‘Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex’ for some lines about awstats.pl(v.7.3). The PERL gave the same warning to me when I updated to AWStats7.4. This is just a warning, so the script works well now. But, to fix this waring is easy. I inserted a to the each line.

1. line 9043: $LogFormatString =~ s/"%{Referer}i"/%refererquot/g;
2. line 9044: $LogFormatString =~ s/"%{User-Agent}i"/%uaquot/g;
3. line 9045: $LogFormatString =~ s/%{mod_gzip_input_size}n/%gzipin/g;
4. line 9046: $LogFormatString =~ s/%{mod_gzip_output_size}n/%gzipout/g;
5. line 9047: $LogFormatString =~ s/%{mod_gzip_compression_ratio}n/%gzipratio/g;
6. line 9048: $LogFormatString =~ s/(%{ratio}n)/%deflateratio/g;

   If you install AWStats at the first time, see AWStats Installation, Configuration and Reporting.

   On the new awstats.model.conf, the following directives are added.

# By default, AWStats only records info on 404 'Document Not Found' errors.
# At the cost of additional processing time, further info pages can be made
# available by adding codes below.
# Change : Effective for new updates only
# Example: "403 404"
# Default: "404"
#
TrapInfosForHTTPErrorCodes = "400 403 404"

# Show http error page details
# Context: Web, Streaming
