Hy Brian!

I think there is a bug in your package or in AWstats!

If i go to the url of one of the vsites (www.aaa.com/awstats) and
login with an siteadmin-account from www.aaa.com.
Then the stats from www.aaa.com are viewed.

But if I take the urls on the left menu I´ll see:
"Month/Day" and the link:
http://www.aaa.com/awstats-cgi/awstats.pl?config=&framename=mainright#TOP

and now if I change the config-Parameter to config=www.bbb.com (other vsite
on the same server)
http://www.aaa.com/awstats-cgi/awstats.pl?config=www.bbb.com&framename=mainr
ight#TOP

then the stats from the www.bbb.com will be viewed without asking any
user/password.
This works on all stats on the server.

Is this a bug on my server or to others have the same.

Thanks
Joachim Klein

Joachim,

Lets address this one at a time.

I tried to hide as much as I could behind the scenes.  If you notice your
URL
bar, it should not change.  I do this so the normal user won't realize where
he/she is actually at.

Second, you are right, if you change the config=<somesite.com> it will allow
you
to view them.  To make awstats work across multiple sites, this is needed.
Per 
the documents, each site needs to have a config file in /etc/awstats.  So,
all of
your site data is actually located there.  The reason why, is if you use
dynamic
HTML, you get more information then doing it via static html.  You can setup
awstats
to just create HTML files, but unfortunately, you get a blah looking screen.
The 
dynamic allows you to have the split screen function.  Which is what most
people had
asked me for.

Now, being a good ASP that you are, no one else, besides your staff, should
know
what hosts/sites you are actually hosting.  Someone can sit there, and try
anything
they wish, it may or may not work.  You and I know that can take some time
to do also!

I can try to over come this problem, but it would require time and $$$ ...
if your
looking to pay, I would be more then happy ... but, right now ... that is
the best
Free Package I can ... if someone else is working on a Package for AWSTATS,
I would be
more then happy to work with them on doing this for free, but I am a one man
show on this
project :(

Thanks, and hope you had a great New Years Eve Party!
