htaccess file (the one located in the “base” directory of your WordPRess install) to enable the request for your awstats directory to be processed. htaccess you just use the concepts/examples there to make the appropriate entries to the WordPress.

Also, while I’m at it, is there anything else I should know for when following the dreamhost wiki instructions for setting up awstats?Īha! That’s another matter altogether. If anyone can offer some help, thank you very much. I realize that this is probably something silly that I overlooked because I’m a total newb but regardless, I’m totally stumped.

I have Enable ssh/telnet? clicked and Type is set to /bin/bash. I made a shell account so that I could use Putty to do these things. I’m currently stuck at the heading where it says “Setting up the Domain Name”.
