AwStats plugin for DA [Still in BETA]

Wow, once a minute will bring a server to it's knees. :)

Check your cron. I belive you have an * out of place. Mine looks like this:

PHP: 
# MIN   HOUR    DAY     MONTH   DAYOFWEEK       COMMAND
1       2,3,4,5,10,12,14,16,18,20,22    *       *       *               /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats_updateall.pl now -awstatsprog=/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/cgi-bin/awstats.pl

I run every 2 hours between 2AM and 9PM My machine does a lot of overnight processing so I don't want to compute stats during that window.

HTH,

for some reason it is not allowing new accounts access to awstats.

is it possable to manually setup awstats for an account?

I *think it might be because they are located on the second drive.

This is on a FreeBSD server - would that make a difference?
 
I have the same problem as brundle (and others).

Neither the plugin nor the update.sh actually installs awstats.pl.

I am on FreeBSD 5.4.

Has anyone ben able to install the latest (2.1.9) to install correctly on FreeBSD 5.x?
 
I did run /usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/hooks/awstatsinstall.php -af

And i don't get output... I updated the version with your script:

/usr/local/directadmin/plugins/awstats/update/update.sh

But i still have version 6.4... And the images aren't working... I deleted and un-installed awstats and reinstalled and then updated with the above command, but still have version 6.4 :(

Edit: Centos 3.4

Maybe this has been answered, but with 50 pages, not gonna read it all...

But is there a way to remove the "Update Now" function so that users can't perform it?
 
Did I do something wrong?

The instructions on how to remove the Update now are in the awstats docs (awstats.sf.net) It's in the config file.

NOTE: Every time the awstats plugin is reinstalled you get a fresh config file for each domain. I've taken to putting all my custom settings in an include and then just adding it to the end of the config file. Saves having to re-do it every time a domain has custom settings.

The symlink problem really looks like a permissions problem to me. I didn't write the plugin, but I wrote a small piece of code that goes with it. It's hard for me to tell whether that's coming from my code or not. (It was over a year ago) Did you get that from upgrading the plugin (i.e. in DA) or did you get that from running the command line tool?

A bug possibly? I have this on another server works beautifully. However I recently purchased a new server with a slightly different partition creation (intead of /home it is /usr/home).

I recieve the following error:

Not so much a bug as it was designed to work specifically with DA and at the time I wrote my part, DA installed into /home.

Easy solution:
Create a symlink for /home

hard solution:
If the problem is with the piece I wrote (and I do not know if yours is no is not) then you can edit the program awstatsinstall.php.
In the constructor (look for function AWStatsInstaller()) you'll see the line:

$this->_homeDir = '/home';

Change that to whatever dir you want.

Having said that I will not guarantee that this will solve your problem. It could be more complex than I realize.

Sorry but it's been over a year now since I wrote that code. The gray matter ain't what it used to be. :)

symlink for /home was allready created.

I guess I will have to test the hard way. Anything in the midst of resolving this in the future?
