Install
1- Uncompress
the file 'robotstats.zip'. A directory named 'robotstats'
should be created.
2- Edit the file 'admin/config.php'
with a simple text editor like Notepad and replace the 4 following
elements by the real values (if you need help you may ask your host
provider):
- "HOST" : the MySQL hostname
- "LOGIN" : your login
- "PASSWORD" : your password (to access
the database)
- "BASE" : the MySQL database name
Fill in your email address (this address will be
used to send you the Full Crawl alerts or to warn you about MySQL
execution errors) : variable RS_ADRESSE_EMAIL
The options of RobotStats are configured by the
following variables. If you want, you may modify some of them:
- RS_URL_REWRITING : put "y"
if you're using it, otherwise "n"
- RS_GRAPH_SCALE : put "lin"
(linear) or "log" (logarithmic) for the scale of the
graphs
- RS_VALEURS_GRAPH : put "y"
if you want to display the values on the graph. Otherwise put
"n"
- RS_SET_EXEC_TIME : put "y"
if you want to set a maximum execution time for the graph script.
Otherwise put "n"
- RS_TEST_FULL_CRAWL : put "y"
if you want to detect when the Full Crawl begins and to be alerted
by email (the email will be sent to the address ADRESSE_EMAIL).
Otherwise put "n"
- RS_SEND_ERROR_MYSQL : put "y"
to receive emails when an MySQL error occurs. Otherwise put "n".
To customize the installation, you can also modify
these variables:
- RS_LANGUE : put "en" (english),
"fr" (french), "de" (german), "es"
(spannish), "it" (italian), "nl" (deutsch)
- RS_TABLE_LOG : name of the MySQL table
used to store the visits
- RS_TABLE_ROBOTS : name of the MySQL table
used to store the robots
- RS_NB_J_DET_FULL_CRAWL : for the Full
Crawl detection: an alert is sent to warn the webmaster that the
Full Crawl has begun as soon as a Full Crawl robot's visit is
detected and no visit of the Full Crawl robot has been recorded
in the last RS_NB_J_DET_FULL_CRAWL days.
3- Transfer the whole
directory 'robostats' by FTP to your server.
4- Protect the directory
'admin' with a .htaccess
file and a .htpassword
file (If you need help ask your host provider).
5- Installation:
- If this is the first time that you install
RobotStats, go to the URL http://__your_site__/robotstats/install.php
and follow the instructions. Once the installation process is
over, delete the file 'install.php' from your server.
- If you already have installed a
previous version of RobotStats (that was named GoogleStats), you
should begin with backuping the MySQL table 'gs_log'. Then:
- If you already have installed
the version 2.0 or later:
- backup the file admin/config.php
- copy to your server all the files
found in the robotstats.zip file
- edit the new admin/config.php
file in order to update your personal settings (there
are several more settings...)
- go to the URL: http://__your_site__/robotstats/update.php
and follow the instructions.
Once the installation process is over, delete the file
'update.php' from your server..
- If you have already installed an older
version of GoogleStats, you must do the complete install of RobotStats.
6- Now you must insert
the following code in each page of your site (apart from the pages
you don't want to be analyzed). If you're using Dreamweaver (or
any other software supporting templates), you can insert this code
in your template. In this case, use the code display and insert
this code in a non-editable zone (ie outside a section between "<!--
#BeginEditable" and "<!-- #EndEditable -->").
You can insert it just before the "</head>" tag.
You can even add it after the </html> tag if you want.
<?php
include($DOCUMENT_ROOT.'/robotstats/robotstats.inc.php');
?>
7- To test if RobotStats
is correctly installed, enable the robot named '_test' and browse
some pages of your site. Then look at RobotStats to see if your
visits have been recorded. Don't forget to disable this test robot
(see the description of RobotStats).
8- You're using RobotStats
and you don't have anything to pay: it is FREE. All I ask to you
in return is only to put a link on your site to the RobotStats official
homepage:
Thank you!
Enjoy RobotStats!
