awstats doesnt update

A few weeks ago I wanted to switch from webaliser to awstats. And so i ran:


When I wanted to view the stats of a domain i got the following content instead of the awstats statistics page:

sh: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl: Permission denied

For each user there is a folder called awstats with data in it for all the users domains and subdomains. So it looks like the tally is trying to calculate the stats.

So I did some more research on this topic and found out I could manualy update the stats by running:


Now the stats of one domain work, and it is not updated again during the night.

Can anyone point me into the right direction into solving this problem? Even a workaround would be an option to write a script that fetches all the users and their domains + subdomains to I can execute awstats_process.sh with that script. But off course it would be better if the nightly tally could be fixed.

I am also having an error with AWStats not updating anymore. While it's not directly related to the above problem, I didn't want to make a new thread.

I recently updated to AWStats 6.9 using custombuild update_versions. Now my stats are not updating. Cron is running, and I've tried manually running the cron using the "echo 'action=tally' etc... but it still doesn't update.

There are no errors in my errortaskq.log.

Also, the stats DO update if I manually run:

Any ideas?

Did anyone find a solution for above problems yet?

I didn't quite fix the problem but I made the following script which I run every night (after the tally).


If anyone has a better solution please tell...

same deal here. where is illuminating documentation that explains use of /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/awstats_process.sh ? or do we have to just stumble upon these things?

wstats vs webalyser

Same problem here : I am new to awstats, but I installed it on a new server with custombuild.

Nothing happens with tally and awstats do not update.

If somebody has an idea, it would be great. For the moment, I am telling to customers that these are tests and that awstats is not operational ...

Hi, i have the same problem. AWStats is not updating anymore. Manually yes, but not every night anymore.

Isnt there any solution?

I try to install this tweak; but how to run this script every night? (after the tally?) Which file should i edit?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
FILE="/etc/virtual/domainowners"
exec < $FILE
while read LINE
do
DOMAIN=`echo $LINE | awk '{print $1}' | sed s/.$//`
OWNER=`echo $LINE | awk '{print $2}'`
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/awstats_process.sh $OWNER $DOMAIN
done

Did any of the posters solved their issues ?

I have the same problem here, manual stats with the script are working, but noting is done by the tally at night :-(

Well, quick and dirty solution :

add /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/awstats_process.sh USER DOMAIN to the daily cron job for each domain where it is important.


What does the tally does with awstats ?
is there a way to debut why the tally doesn't work and the manual awstat input works ?
