hi,

I can not get my awstats updated with cron. Can Someone help me with syntax?

 

I have added to cron task

/path_from_root/awstats.pl -config=mysetup -update >/dev/null 2>&1

 

and I can see from cron log file:

(/var/www/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mysetup -update >/dev/null 2>&1)

 

has been tried to be executed, but however my statistics does not update. What is wrong?

I get a message:

Error: AWStats database directory defined in config file by 'DirData' parameter (../stats) does not exist or is not writable.

However, This file exists and I can update awstats manually from browser.

So, what can be wrong?

Now I can not open awstats with my browser, I get an error message in browser:

 

Error: AWStats database directory defined in config file by 'DirData' parameter (var/www/stats) does not exist or is not writable

 

And for text file:

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.mysetup.conf" nor "awstats.conf" after searching in path "/var/www/cgi-bin,/etc/awstats,/usr/local/etc/awstats,/etc,/etc/opt/awstats": No such file or directory

Now, I can view awstats with my browser and update it with my browser. I forgot the first / in a file path.

 

But with command line, the situation is same. Iget in a text file message:

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.mysetup.conf" nor "awstats.conf" after searching in path "/var/www/cgi-bin,/etc/awstats,/usr/local/etc/awstats,/etc,/etc/opt/awstats": No such file or directory

 

I am very sure that this awstats.mysetup.conf do exists in /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

 

Any further ideas?

Ha haa. I found the mistake. For some reason my command line added some space characters for the parameters because it was too long for one line. So now it works.

 

Thank you very much for your replies!

 

Another question:

There is following line in mysetups:  AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser=1. If I set it to 0, does it disable the possibility update the statistic from a browser?
