Awstats won't work after modifying Document Root

[heavencloud]

Hello,

First of all, I would like to say that I'm still a beginner when it comes to any linux operating system, so hope you can bear with me.

I had setup a normal domain and installed awstats in my directadmin server and it works as i can access it by typing domain.com/awstats. But suddenly my customer decided to make a new version of his website thus moving all the new files into a subdomain. Later he requested me to point the domain directly to the /public_html/subdomain folder.

Being a beginner, I started to search on the net on how to do it. In the end, I found the way to modify the /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/httpd.conf and modify the Document Root to point to /public_html/subdomain folder

Now i realized that my awstats can't be viewed anymore as it will appear as 404 error:
=================
Not Found

The requested URL /awstats was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
=================

I tried to search anywhere, but no avail. Hope I can get some guidance from you guys. Thank you.

My guess is that by modifying the DocumentRoot you broke a link somewhere which redirects AWstats. You'll have to find it and change it.

You may have also broken other links; you should probably check (for example) all the webmail links.

Generallly we webhosters tell our clients the document root, not the other way around .

hmmm.. i see. Then u have a suggestion where i can look for the awstats's configuration file?

Let me try re-install the awstats and see how things will go. But, how to uninstall it in the firsst place?

why dont you move just the awstat from the subdomain folder into public_html?

for reinstall awstats you should use

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build awstats
