woodp Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 There's a program called rmagic that provide public access to the analog statistics data, but I can't install it at DH without root access. I couldn't find anything similar for webalizer. I'd like to give a couple people access to the webalizer data without giving them access to the control panel. Is there a way to do that?

Tony Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 There isn't a way to do this with a quick snap of the fingers in cPanel. However you can do this by making use of symbolic links. You'll need SSH to do this so if you do not have it or are unsure about this method we can do it for you. First you make a directory in your public_html folder called say stats Create Your Symbolic Link: ln -s /home/yourusername/tmp/webalizer stats Chmod Directories: /home/yourusername/tmp - chmod to 755 /home/yourusername/tmp/webalizer - chmod to 755 Of course with all of this changing "yourusername" with your actual account username.

woodp Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks, Tony. I didn't think to use symbolic links to offer access to others, but that works like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 One other thing I forgot to mention I don't really advise doing it with awstats as there are exploits out there and such for it. The others to my knowledge just generate files so there isn't a big deal. I'd also make use of a .htaccess if you don't plan on having it 100% public as search engines tend to find everything.

woodp Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Followup question: One of my accounts doesn't have SSH access (yet). Before asking you to enable it, is there a method using the File Manager that comes with cPanel to create symbolic links? If not, I'll create a ticket for you.

Tony Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 As far as I know you cannot do it via the filemanager although I don't know the cPanel filemanager inside out they keep updating it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodp Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I didn't think so either but I thought I would ask ... Let me go file a ticket ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolapper Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Im using Dreamweaver to build my web page and it always says access denied when I try to copy a file over to the server. I can connect to the server but cant copy any file or directory. Could you give me some help here please. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 You're best to make a support ticket but my best guess is you're uploading the files to the wrong folder via Dreamweaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
