AWstats reporting failed!

Submitted by RyanJohnson on Thu, 04/14/2011 - 05:20

Hi,

I've tried to disable a re-enable awstats for a virtual server in order to fix a server validation error but I'm getting the following error. I've look at miniserv.error and there's no clues

Setting up AWstats reporting .. .. AWstats reporting failed!

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

It appears to be trying to put awstats.pl into the public_html/cgi-bin directory which doesn't exist. Usually awstats.pl goes into /home/domain/cgi-bin. Do you know why it would be different for this server?

How did you determine it was trying to write to that directory?

That would certainly be a bug, as awstats.pl should go into cgi-bin

I go it from the output when ran the server validator from within webmin. Here's the output:

AWstats reporting : AWstats program /home/defence/public_html/cgi-bin/awstats.pl does not exist

In your system's /etc/webmin/virtualmin-awstats/config file , is the copyto option set, and if so to what?

If it is set, you should probably remove that line as it is a rarely needed option.

It's not set .. it is currently:

plugins=
noedit=1
lang=
icons=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/icon
format=
awstats=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl
nocron=1
copyto=
aliases=
lib=
config_dir=/etc/awstats

Ok .. if you login to Virtualmin, select that domain from the left menu, then go to Services -> Configure Website -> CGI programs, what is in the "CGI directory aliases" field?

Ok you found it!

Yes it was set incorrectly. I've updated the location. disabled and re-enable awstats and it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for your help!
