How can I Enable manual update in Awstats?

AWstats short for AdvancedWebStatistics is a powerful log analyzer, creating advanced web, FTP, mail, and media server stats reports. This data is based on the rich data contained within the various server logs. The information is then presented in the form of an easy and intuitive layout within the cPanel.

The logs from which AWstats gathers the data are rotating once per 2 -24 hours, depending on the server setup and server load. Sometimes you may want to see the statistics right away, therefore AWstats has a configuration you may use in order to activate an "Update now" button inside the AWstats interface. To do that, navigate to the following file using the cPanel FileManager or SSH:

/home/user/tmp/awstats/awstats.yourdomain.com.conf

 and open it for editing. Please replace the "user" in the above path with your actual cPanel username. Afterward, locate the line of code:

AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=0

and change it to:

AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1

If you are inside the AWstats feature, please refresh the page, and the "Update Now" button should now be visible above the “Summary” section on top of the Awstats page.
