Answer 1

For an IIS installation on Windows you can run the following on Command Prompt:

perl "D:/Websites/My Website/Stats/cgi-bin/awstats.pl" -update -config="mywebsite.com" -LogFile="perl \"D:/Websites/My Website/Stats/tools/logresolvemerge.pl\" C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1\*.log |"

Based on:

1. perl being on your PATH environment variable
2. Your website being stored in D:/Websites/My Website
3. The contents of AWStats' wwwroot folder being stored in a folder named Stats one level deeper
4. AWStats' tools folder being stored within that folder (you might want to only do this temporarily so that they can't be accessed via a web browser)
5. Your config file being named awstats.mywebsite.com.conf
