It runs fine now for me. Ok, forget my previous comment: I hacked the code a bit more and was able to completely remove the (config) option out of it. It runs fine now for me.

I canot run this addon. For some reason, it says that it cannot find the config file. (like previous post). And like him, my awstats.pl script runs fine. However, I am not running Awstats on the real webserver: I am using it in a another server, inside our lan. I import the live access logs to that server, and generate the stats by telling awstats.conf to look for those files. I use that server's webserver to report using the cgi. Another thing: I do not have a special "config" file since it runs only for one website. I use the default awstats conf file, located in /etc/awstats. It is /etc/awstats/awstats.conf. I call the program this way: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=unibroue.com -update -showsteps -showcorrupted -showdropped Finally, here is an example of a database file format syntax generated by my copy of awstats: /var/awstats/database/awstats012009.txt When I browsed the code for the addon, I saw that it looks for the config and tries to load various files with it (especially the configuration and database files) using a syntax that looks like ' "." .&config. ".conf" ' This means that, in my case, with no special version of the configuration file, only the default, it won't work because this ends up trying to load a file named "awstats..conf" for example. I tried changing it to remove all the ' "." .&congig ' parts, leaving only the extensions ".conf" and ".txt" so it could see and load my conf file and databases. It partly worked as it saw my configuration file but now it's reporting that AWStats has not yet collected data. From that point, I don't know so I'm turning over to you for advice! thanks!! :) Hello!

I use that server’s webserver to report using the cgi.

When I browsed the code for the addon, I saw that it looks for the config and tries to load various files with it (especially the configuration and database files) using a syntax that looks like ‘ “.” .&config. “.conf” ‘
This means that, in my case, with no special version of the configuration file, only the default, it won’t work because this ends up trying to load a file named “awstats..conf” for example.
I tried changing it to remove all the ‘ “.” .&congig ‘ parts, leaving only the extensions “.conf” and “.txt” so it could see and load my conf file and databases.
