Accessing Stats
From DreamHost
The process to access your nightly statistics can sometimes prove to be a little confusing as the login and password you need to use isn't the most obvious choice. This article aims to straighten things out a bit.
- First, start out by visiting http://yourdomain.com/stats/ — replacing yourdomain.com for your actual domain.
- When prompted for your login credentials enter your Web ID (the short name for your account, not your fully qualified email address) and web panel password.
- Once you've hit "Ok", you should be able to see your stats.
That was easy, right?
If you want to give somebody access to your stats but don't want to give them your Web ID and password, you need to set them up with a login. To do this, simply visit https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=status.stats and click on the wrench next to the number of users who have access on your domain. From there you can add as many people as you need to.
Checking your username and password for stats
So you click on http://www.yourdomain.com/stats and a window pops up asking for a username and password. What username? What password? Arrrrgh!
- If you’re not sure what the correct username is, or want to reset a password, go to your WebPanel (panel.dreamhost.com), select Status > Site Statistics, and click on the wrench in the "# of Users w/Access" column. Here you will see each of your "stats" users. If you click on the "Edit" button in the "Actions" column for a user, you can change the stats password for that user.
