Installing awstats for nginx

• apt-get install awstats
• cd /etc/awstats
• Edit awstats.conf with the following updates:
  • `LogFile="/var/log/nginx/access.log"
  • SiteDomain="smidgeo.com"
• Edit /etc/logrotate.d/nginx.conf like so:

    /var/log/nginx/*.log {
        daily # rotate daily
        missingok 
        rotate 52 # Keep 52 days
        compress
        delaycompress
        notifempty
        create 0640 www-data adm
        sharedscripts
        prerotate
                # Trigger awstats computation
                /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
        endscript
        postrotate
                # Reload Nginx to make it read the new log file
                [ ! -f /var/run/nginx.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
        endscript
    }

• Run /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
• Build HTML with /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -config=awstats.conf -awstatsprog=/usr/bin/awstats -dir=/usr/share/nginx/html/smidgeo.com/<dir>
• Add the HTML build command to cron.

The above worked. Mostly based on this.
