Urchin Dedicated is a web server log file analysis program producing usage reports in HTML format for viewing with a standard web browser. It is intended for one or more sites running on one web server. It is meant to be installed directly on the web server. Because its process overhead is minimal, this does not represent a significant performance issue. In the most basic terms, Urchin Dedicated reads the server's log file(s), put the information in the VIDA(tm) database, and then deliver HTML-based reports as requested. The log-processing engine is called from 'cron' (UNIX) or the Windows scheduler. Read more about Urchin (3) Dedicated at www.urchin.coml

Depending on when you are installing Urchin, you have two different procedures to follow:

• When installing Urchin along with H-Sphere, see the instructions in the Winbox Installation chapter


• When installing Urchin at any moment later on, go through the following steps:


1. Open H-Sphere configuration file conf.inc at the path <hsdir>\scripts\(<hsdir> is the directory where H-Sphere on WinBox is installed) and find the lines below:
   

   ////////////////// Urchin ////////////////////
   // Path to directory where Urchin is located
   urchinDir = "C:\\Program Files\\Urchin Pro 3.3"
   // Urchin configuration file name
   urchinConf = "config"
   // Urchin program name
   urchinUtil = "urchin.exe"
   // Path to Urchin skeleton
   urchinSkeleton = "d:\\hsscripts\\skeleton\\urchin"
   

2. Set path to the directory where Urchin is installed (e.g. "C:\\Program Files\\Urchin Pro 3.3"). Make sure to use double backslashes when entering the path.
3. Set configuration file name (e.g. "config").
4. Set program name (e.g. "urchin.exe").
5. Set path to Urchin skeleton (e.g. "d:\\hsscripts\\skeleton\\urchin").
6. Restart H-Sphere through the "HSsvc" (Computer Management =>Services and Applications =>Services => HSsvc) service to apply changes.
7. Now you can go to Adding Urchin Licenses.
