Upgrading the package
|
|
|
Upgrading is just a matter of making a safe backup and running the
upgrade script. This script will update your configuration files and
the w3perl scripts.
If you have only FTP access, use the w3perl administration interface.
|
|
Procedure |
Some upgrade need to reset your stats as incremental data have been changed but you'll be warmed if so.
- Backup some data
Make first a copy of your configuration files, and your install.pl file.
- Extract / Update package
- Ssh/telnet users
Unpack the package where it have been previously installed, it
will overwrite the current w3perl scripts. Then run the upgrade.pl script.
If you are using RPM, just upgrade the package via your rpm tool.
- FTP users
If you have installed W3Perl via FTP, follow the FTP install
manual. All scripts should be upload in your cgi-bin directory and
resources files in your W3Perl path directory.
- Configuration / Update configuration

Config file
|
If your own config files (built from the web interface) have disappear from the web admin, edit the /resources/admin/locconf file and add one line
for each of your config files as follow (each field is tab separated) :
<configfilename path>, <w3perl version>, <creation date>, <unix/windows OS>, <server type>, <comment>
You should be able to see them now when reloading the web admin interface.

|
Resetting
|
Most of the scripts are now running in incremental mode including
referer, agent, error stats. if you need to reset all your stats, you'll
need to run cron-w3perl.pl with the -a flag. It will delete all stats data files and launch the scripts to rebuild your stats.
If you just want to reset one of the optional script, running with the '-b'
flag will erase the current incremental data. (see option available with
the -h flag).
