Auto Update AWStats on WAMP

Schedule an automatic AWStats update of your web sites

To schedule AWStats to autupdate a web site profile on Windows WAMP (WampServer), you have to schedule it using Windows built-in Task Scheduler. The Windows scheduler will update a script I wrote, so you don’t have to manually update via cmd. The script will also run siliently (invisible) so there are no annoying pop up cmd windows.

IMPORTANT
I am using my site, webdevster.com as an example. You must substitute webdevster.com related entries with your Windows environment

Step 1:

Create a new directory tasks, like so:

c:\wamp\tasks

Step 2:

Create a blank text file and rename it to update_webdev.bat, in the following directory like so:

c:\wamp\tasks\update_webdev.bat

Step 3:

Edit update_webdev.bat, with any simple text editor. Copy and paste the following:

perl c:\wamp\bin\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.pl -update -config=webdev

Step 4:

Create a blank text file and rename it to update_webdev.vbs, in the following directory like so:

c:\wamp\tasks\update_webdev.vbs

Step 5:

Edit update_webdev.vbs, with any simple text editor. Copy and paste the following:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "c:\wamp\tasks\update_webdev.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Step 6:

Alternately, you can download the zip containing both these files here.

Create a Windows Schedule in Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks to run, update_webdev.vbs however many times you like.
