Default Giving addon domains /stats access

Hello.

I have transfered several sites over to eukhost as addon domains. Each having there own user name and password for ftp access. With my old host, clients got used to being able to check there web statistics by putting /stats after their domain and then logging in. Is this possible with eukhost? and how would I enable it?

I also have the old (webalizer) log files and wonder if it is possible to copy them over so that the stats information would still show the historic / previous hosts stats information.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

I think you can do the old log files somehow but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it.

I don't think you can do the multiple login names. Only way I think you could do this would be to use a reseller hosting account.

You will need to consider reseller account to allow your customers to check Statistics of their individual domains. Addon domains are just like sub domains so you don't get any separate control panel for addon domains to use other features of cpanel. Addon domains will have their sub-directory under main domain and separate FTP account only.

It's only a few domain's that seem to use this. I'll just have to stop telling people about it. For thoes that know they can access there stats I'll try and alias it and protect access with a .htaccess file.

Thanks for the help.

Hi, just to update.

The fix I eventualy settled on was to create a stats folder in the webspace, then use cPanel to create a Cron job that runs at 2am each day.

The cron command is "cp /home/[user]/tmp/webalizer/[subaccount].[domain].[tdl]/* /home/[user]/public_html/[subaccount].[tdl]/stats/"

I then used 'Password Protected Directories' to restrict folder access. So far it seems to be running ok.

The 'Password Protected Directories' script creates a .htaccess file and a password file. Does anyone know where cPanel stores it's passwords? It just seems a shame to have to duplicate the username and password in 'Password Protected Directories' when there already in cPanel some place. It would be better, I feel, to have a more generic .htaccess file in the stats folder and just change the 'required' user line. Much easier and less chance of the passwords getting out of sync.

Details of password protected directories is stored in /home/username/etc/

You can enter etc directory which is below your public_html
