The Advanced Web Stats installer will install the application in the [Applications] folder. But to perform this operation it is required for you to have administrative rights. |
3. Configure the listen port (optional)
Advanced Web Stats uses as default ports [8888] as listen port and [8006] as server port. But if another application uses one or both ports used by Advanced Web Stats as default you need to change the ports that Advanced Web Stats will use. To change these ports please follow these instructions:
-
Open the file [server.xml], located in the [conf] folder, under the Advanced Web Stats, in the [Applications] directory, and edit the following lines with your preferred text editor.
The beginning of [server.xml] should look like this:
<Server port="8006" shutdown="password"> <Service name="Catalina"> <Executor name="awsThreadPool" namePrefix="aws-exec-" maxThreads="500" minSpareThreads="4" maxIdleTime="20000"/> <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="8888" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"/> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
-
Change the server shutdown port and the listen port with two free ports. To see the free ports on your machine use the following command:
sudo lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"
For example, after changing the default ports with "8010" and "8889", the file [server.xml] should look like this:
<Server port="8010" shutdown="password"> <Service name="Catalina"> <Executor name="awsThreadPool" namePrefix="aws-exec-" maxThreads="500" minSpareThreads="4" maxIdleTime="20000"/> <Connector executor="tomcatThreadPool" port="8889" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443"/> <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
Please note that these changes are optional, and you need make them only if the ports specified above are used by other programs.

The first line of the [server.xml] file contains also the server shutdown password that can be used when shutting down the server remotely. You can use the default one, or easily set your own password. |
4. Start Advanced Web Stats
When this operation finishes click the [Finish] button to start Advanced Web Stats in your browser.
Later you can access Advanced Web Stats by typing in the address bar of your favorite browser the following address:
http://localhost:8888

If you changed the listed port earlier you need to replace [8888] with the port specified. |
5. Follow Post-installation process
On the Post-installation wizard you need to select the database, configure the email setting and the system administrator account. For more details and instructions about the post-installation process please read the Post-installation Guide.
