AW Stats is really very helpful in tracking your website traffic. It can really help you out with the traffic.

I love to check my website’s traffic daily, but I really got sick when I used to find out that the stats have not been updated yet. So I just found a solution for updating them manually and I would like to share it with all of you.

Well, its really simple, let me tell you how to do that.

- Open your cpanel.
- Go to File Manager.
- Now go to /tmp/awstats.
- Find the configuration file of your website, it would be something like awstats.yoursite.com.conf.
- Open that file with your editor and find this AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=0.
- Change AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=0 to AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1.
- Save Changes.

After changing 0 to 1, you will see a button “Update Now” on the report page. The report page is the page where you see the stats. You can simply click that “Update Now” button to update your stats instantly.
