Awstats ignoring some days of previous month [#11624]

Submitted by fuerst on Tue, 09/29/2009 - 15:11

Hi, I have awstats running for 4 domains. For one domain the days from 7th of August up to 31th August are missing all GETs from the corresponding Apache log files.

Using zgrep -c GET *200908*gz on the files there is no abnormality visible in dropped page hits.

Any idea what can be wrong? Is there a way to reset the month August and recalculate the statistics?

Thanks, Bernhard

You could force a re-processing of the logs for august by deleting the awstats082009.* and maybe awstats092009.* files in the awstats directory under the domain's home dir, and then running :

/etc/webmin/virtualmin-awstats/awstats.pl domainname.com

Let us know if that helps.

Yes, it helped to delete awstats082009.* and awstats092009.* and rerun awstats.pl. Thanks a lot!

Would be nice to know how to avoid gaps like this in the future though..

I'm not sure how such as gap could happen .. unless perhaps you had out-of-order log entries due to the system clock being set forwards or back at some point?

Not as far as I know. I will watch this. Thanks so long!
