I signed up to Dreamhost a few days ago, put a few domains on my account, and did some one-click installs of Wordpress. After a couple days, my stats were showing up on my domains. Today, I check and the /stats/ directories are all 404. Do I need to configure something in the control panel in order to set up my web stats? I really need to see where my traffic is coming from.

In reply to:...and did some one-click installs of WordPress.
The default WordPress .htaccess file intercepts and rewrites requests to pages that are *not* part of the WordPress installation, and that is why you are not able to load your "http://youdomain.tld/stats/" pages.
Fortunately, the "fix" for this is really easy, and is thoroughly described in this DreamHost Wiki article on making stats available with .htaccess.
