How to Create a Second Account to Access AwStats in cPanel

AwStats produces bar graphs for users.

CPanel is a server management program that lets the webmaster administer changes to the server. AwStats is the logging tool for cPanel. It produces visual statistics about all the visitors to the sites hosted by the server. Create a second cPanel account is tricky, but you can allow specific accounts to access AwStats by copying the link and making it available.

Instructions

1. Login to cPanel by visiting; "http://www.SERVERSADDRESS.com/cpanel". Enter your "Login" and "Password."

2. Scroll down the main cPanel page until you see the icon for AwStats. Click it. A list of all the domains/sites that are hosted on the server will appear. Right click on the domain's "View," for which AwStats needs to be accessed. Click "Copy Link Address." This is the address that will be used to access AwStats for that domain.

3. Inform the site owner or person who needs access to these stats that the copied URL can access AwStats. Have him use that domain's login and password to access the URL when he visits the page.
