SSL Website enabled. Normal http website is disabled. Enabling stats fails ??
Steps
Enable website and ssl website. Save. Enable Awstats, webalizer. Save. Disable non-ssl website. Save. Error - "need to have wesbite for awstats and webalizer". This is wrong. Shouldn't Awstats and webalizer be able to run on SSL-only website?
Status:
Active

How did you disable the non-SSL website? That shouldn't even be possible in Virtualmin when the SSL site is still active.
The right solution here is to setup a redirect from the non-SSL site to SSL. This can be done at Server Configuration -> Aliases and Redirects, by creating a redirect for / that is active for

RIght, redirecting the virtual server's apache http to apache https sounds like the usual thing to do, but this is a special case. Another web server is listening on http !
The "bug" is, when trying to save the virtual server with deactivated http website, virtualmin failed.
It's not a big bug, but theoretically shouldn't u be able to run an apache virtualhost with https only ? And have another web server do the redirect from http to https depending on the host the browser requested ?

In theory, yes. However, the way Virtualmin is written currently it assumes that the HTTP website is the primary, and all directives are copied from it to the HTTPS site.
