I followed a howto at my own risk and although the page is running on apache

it will not update and so cron is filling my inbox at a fast rate

here is the howto-author does not respond

http://www.server-world.info/e…..l'f=9

 here is the cron message

Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.postfix.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

Thankyou for your post Jean-Luc

 

I can confirm that /var/log/mail.log does exist

 

-rw-r—–  1 root   adm        2601087 Jul  9 11:39 mail.log

 

 

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 27809 Jun  8 20:06 maillogconvert.pl

 

what should the permissions of mail log be changed to?

 

xstation

and are the paermissions for mailloconvert.pl ok?
