Adding AWStats to DotNetNuke (DNN)

April 26, 2010 By Larry Brouwer Leave a Comment

I’ve just configured AWStats to work with IIS7 on my web server (see my post, IIS7 Statistics Reporting with Log Parser and AWStats), and now I would like to integrate it into my DotNetNuke (DNN) website.

Here’s an outline of what I would like to do:

  1. Be able to log into my DNN web site as an authenticated user and navigate to a web statistics page. I don’t want anonymous users to view my stats.
  2. Create a script that runs in the background to keep the statistics up to date and have it re-generate the html page for the stats.
  3. See if I can programmatically adjust the LoadPlugin=”timezone –7” for US Central daylight savings or standard time. I really don’t want to have to remember this 2x per year.

So the first thing I did was to open the IIS7 Manager and navigate to my DNN website. I then Right Clicked on it and selected ‘Add Virtual Directory…’. I then choose ‘Statistics’ for my Alias, and navigated to the correct directory path of the AWStats webroot or ‘C:\AWStats\wwwroot’. I then opened up IE and navigated to my web site at https://www.larrybrouwer.com/stats/larrybrouwer_com_stats.html, and it displayed just fine.

Debugging D-Link DIR-655 router issues

April 24, 2010 By Larry Brouwer Leave a Comment

Today started out with discovering our phone wasn’t working. Since we have Vonage or Voice over IP (VOIP), this usually means our Internet is down. At least I know when the Internet is down! My usual routine for this sort of thing is to first unplug everything (the cable modem, router, switch, and the Vonage router), let it sit for a good minute or so to discharge any kind of inductance build-up (or whatever), and then re-plug everything back in starting from the modem, then the router, then the switch, then the VOIP box.

Learning DotNetNuke

April 6, 2010 By Larry Brouwer Leave a Comment

Most of today consisted of learning about DotNetNuke (DNN). I watched several tutorials from DNNCreative Magazine. Most were quite outdated, however, they did provide a good understanding of the DNN structure.

I mainly focused on setting up the blogging module. I first installed the current version (3.5.1), and was frustrated by it not having some of the features that BlogEngine.Net has. After some googling, I discovered that version 4.0.0 RC3 is out on codeplex, so I installed that. So now I have more of the features I would like to see, i.e. categories, and cloud tags.

DotNetNuke installation steps on my web server

April 1, 2010 By Larry Brouwer Leave a Comment

Installing DotNetNuke (free Community Edition) on my www.larrybrouwer.com development web server.  My first thought was to use the Web Platform Installer in IIS, however, I opted out of this method as I wanted to gain a better understanding of what was actually occurring. So I downloaded it directly from the codeplex DotNetNuke download site.

There are several packages to choose from, I opted to go with the recommended download, which is the install version (no source code). Since I’ve already downloaded the source on my development workstation, I don’t need it on the server. The current version today is 5.3.1 released on 3/24/2010.
