SNMP

/etc/default/snmpd get rid of 127.0.0.1

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf change community names

Proftpd

/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf add

DefaultRoot                     ~/../../

For AWStats

LogFormat awstats "%t   %h      %u      %m      %f      %s      %b"
ExtendedLog /var/log/xferlog read,write awstats
TransferLog none
RequireValidShell off

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

mkdir /var/log/apache2/virts
mkdir /var/log/apache2/awstats
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
/etc/apache2/listvirts (NB has to start at group 100!)

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf change LogFormat and add %v to the beginning of the the combined format

LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default DocumentRoot to

/home/sites/servername.tripany.com/site

create /etc/apache2/sites-available/82.95.91.75 with DocumentRoot /home/sites by hand!

link it in in sites-enabled

check both sites to see if they go to different indexes.

a2enmod rewrite (or a2enmod for options list)

vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/awstats

Alias /awstatsicon/ /usr/share/awstats/icon/

touch /var/log/statistics
copy /etc/awstats/model.conf
copy /etc/awstats/awstats.servername* (ftp / mail / web)
<pre>
run the statisticsrun in /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 by hand to see how it all goes!
