directadmin awstats (403 forbiden)

[roly]

hi

i'm just setting up a new server and i'm trying to use the awstats that comes with directadmin. i used the old plugin for awstats of this forum on another server which worked fine.

anyway, i've set it up so that awstats is publically viewable from domain.com/awstats but when i go to that url i get a (403 forbidden) error.

if i try and view the stats from within directadmin i get the following error:

"You must wait for the stats to be computed. This will only happen *after* logs exist (domain must resolve and be used)."

logs exist and i've also run:
echo 'action=tally&value=all' >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d

and it still doesn't work. has anyone got any idea where the problem lies? any advice appreciated.

thanks in advance

it seems no one else has come across this problem yet, can i just ask, am i correct in thinking you should normally be able to view the stats publically via www e.g. domain.com/stats as opposed to getting a 403 forbiden error?

By default DirectAdmin doesn't post stats publicly. The DirectAdmin knowledgebase gives instructions on how to implement it for webalizer; details may differ for AW Stats.

jlasman, there is only one difference, because the folder name is awstats, and not stats

ln -s ../stats [B]webstats[/B]

should be:

ln -s ../[B]aw[/B]stats [B]webstats[/B]

thanks guys for the response

with regards to the symlink, i had already created the symlink via the stats config section for each domain from within directadmin, i set it up so that my stats are viewable from domain.com/awstats. however i get the 403 error when i try to read the stats via domain.com/awstats. (i am being redirected to that page but receiving the 403 error).

i notice that the awstats folder and all the files within it for each domain are owned by root, is this why i get the 403 error when trying to view it?

or alternatively, if i can't get this to work and use the plugin on this forum, do i need to uninstall the version of awstats that comes with directadmin that i can't get to work first? and if so any ideas how?

just fyi, i removed all folders and files relating to the awstats that comes with directadmin and used the awstats plugin from this forum. thanks for your help anyway guys
