For AWStats

LogFormat awstats "%t   %h      %u      %m      %f      %s      %b"
ExtendedLog /var/log/xferlog read,write awstats

Hosting scripts and directories

mkdir /home/adm_usr/webserveradmin/ -p
mkdir /opt/triphost/ -p
mkdir /opt/weblog/etc -p
mkdir /opt/weblog/src -p

copy the stuff from another webserver into these dirs and find and replace the servername in these directories.

mkdir /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site/sitestats/ -p
mkdir /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/logs/
mkdir /home/sites/USGP.tripany.com/sites/ftpstats
chown razor /home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site -R
