The steps are the following : extract the tag package, insert a tag in
your webpages, install w3perl locally and build a configuration file to customize your stats.
W3Perl installation directory
1.1 - Extract on the server
Download the W3Perl package. Extract it on your web server root, it will create a /w3perl/ directory.
1.2 - Permission
Once uncompressed in your server root, the following files are available.
| /w3perl/resources/Readme-tag.txt |
the tag to be inserted in your web pages |
| /w3perl/resources/tag_log.php |
the php script which will create logfiles |
| /w3perl/resources/js/w3perl_tag.js |
the javascript script to be inserted in your webpages |
| /w3perl/logs/htaccess.dist |
htpassword example to password protect your log directory (Apache) |
The /w3perl/logs/ directory should
be writeable by the server so chmod 777 if not or change owner. Password protect this directory.
1.3 - Insert javascript tag
Edit each file you want to monitor and add the following tag just
before </body> :
<script type="text/javascript" src="/<w3perl_install_dir>/resources/js/w3perl_tag.js"></script>
where <w3perl_install_dir> is the directory where w3perl have
been installed. Default value is /w3perl/
PHP should be enabled
1.4 - Compute stats
Customize the config-tag.pl configuration file and use it to run the stats.
