Step 1: COPY FILES
NOTE: Install procedure of Logaholic "SHE" and "SPE" are the same.
Copy the contents of the downloaded zip file to a new sub directory in your web root.
I.e. If you have a website: "www.example.com" copy the files to "www.example.com/logaholic/"
Step 2: SET FILE PERMISSIONS
-> NOTE: Skip this step on Windows SERVER.
Change the file permissions, allow your webserver to write to the sub directories.
Write access/permission to the "files" folder, in the Logaholic directory is necessary.
In most FTP clients you can set "write" access/permission. In the Ftp client; select "Properties" for the 'files' folder and try to change the rights to "Write" for everyone. Changing File Attributes...
Step 3: RUN SETUP WIZARD
Point your browser to:
http://www.your_domain_name.com/logaholic/install.php and follow the instructions.
The 1st screeen, welcomes you to Logaholic Web Analytics Install procedure.
In the 2nd screen; You will be asked to "Get license" by filling in your first name and primary email adress, confirm with the "Get license" button.
If you've already purchased Logaholic, please use the same email address as in your order.
If you are not a customer yet, please use your primary email account and this will create your trial license.
Note that the Logaholic license will be tied in to your domain or IP adress of your server, any changes can only be made with the use of your original email adress, that was used during the purchase of Logaholic.(I.e installing on a other server, moving to a different domain)
Don't forget to upload the Geolitecity.dat file to the /geoip/ directory. This is the IP location database that provides the country and city locations of visitors.
To install the geo ip database, please follow these simple steps:
A. Download the database from Maxmind GeoLiteCity.dat.
B. UNZIP the file GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
C. Copy the UNZIPPED file (GeoLiteCity.dat) to the "geoip" folder in the Logaholic directory on your server.
Step 4: ADD PASSWORD PROTECTION
NOTE: Logaholic SPE users should use the built in user authentication system.
If you want to prevent others from accessing the logaholic reports, you need to password protect the logaholic directory.
The best way to do this is to use the .htaccess and .htpassword authentification provided by Apache. For manual instruction on .htaccess, please view: click here
An easy tool that will generate what you need can be found here.
If you are using Microsoft IIS, you can add a password via the IIS manager.
If you are on a hosted solution with Cpanel, Plesk or another 'manager' interface, there should be an easy option to add a password to a directory.
Should you decide to not password protect your logaholic directory, we strongly advise to delete "install.php" from the Logaholic directory, once you have Logaholic up and running.
