+====== How to install AWStats with Apache on Debian 12/Bookworm ======
+===== Install AWStats =====
+Run the following command:
+  apt install awstats
+This will start the installation process, resolve dependencies and install the required packages for you.
+//Optional: In order to get GeoIP information you can install the following Perl packages://
+  apt install libgeo-ip-perl libgeo-ipfree-perl
+===== Configure AWStats =====
+Once the installation routine is completed, edit the file awstats.conf as follows:
+  LogFile="/var/log/apache2/access.log"
+  LogFormat=1
+  SiteDomain="your-domain.com"
+  HostAliases=”www.your-domain.com your-domain.com”
+  DNSLookup=0
+  AllowFullYearView=3
+  LoadPlugin="tooltips"
+===== Configure Apache for AWStats =====
+Edit the Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf like so
+  vi /etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf
+Paste the following content
+  Alias /awstatsclasses "/usr/share/awstats/lib/"
+  Alias /awstats-icon "/usr/share/awstats/icon/"
+  Alias /awstatscss "/usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/css"
+  ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
+  Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
+Save and exit the configuration file.
+To enable this configuration run
+  ln -s /etc/apache2/conf-available/awstats.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/awstats.conf
+Enable the "cgi" module in Apache
+  /usr/sbin/a2enmod cgi
+Implement the changes by restarting Apache
+  systemctl restart apache2
+You can see how the installation is progressing by pointing your web browser to:
+  http://your-domain.xyz/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
+The top line should display the time when statistics were updated. It probably reads 'Never updated'. Now you need to manually trigger your first update
+  /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=your-domain.com -update
+Now you should get some output like
+  Create/Update database for config "/etc/awstats/awstats.conf" by AWStats version X (build X)
+  From data in log file "/var/log/apache2/access.log"...
+  Phase 1 : First bypass old records, searching new record...
+  Searching new records from beginning of log file...
+  Phase 2 : Now process new records (Flush history on disk after 20000 hosts)...
+  Jumped lines in file: 0
+  Parsed lines in file: X
+   Found 0 dropped records,
+   Found 0 comments,
+   Found 0 blank records,
+   Found 0 corrupted records,
+   Found 0 old records,
+   Found X new qualified records.
+===== Secure Your AWStats via .htaccess =====
+A basic, simple way of restricting access is to set up a http password. Open your apache2 configuration file
+  vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/your-domain.com.conf
+Paste the content as shown below:
+<code>
+<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/>
+    Options +ExecCGI
+    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
+    AuthType Basic
+    AuthName 'Password Protected Area'
+    AuthUserFile '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/.htpasswd'
+    Require valid-user
+</Directory>
+</code>
+If you don’t  have a password that can be used for this purpose, the command htpasswd can do it for you.
+  htpasswd -cb /usr/lib/cgi-bin/.htpasswd admin mypassword
