Hi All,
I recently configure awstats using the pdf compiled by ihsen, worked well I must say very user-friendly I must say. but now I want to try something different, I want to access a Logfile situated on another websever..!
anylise it and get the statitics ! I think this is highly possible!
but I tend to get this:
Error: LogFile parameter is not defined in config/domain file
Setup ('c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\awstats website\\cgi-bin/awstats.demo.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
windows server.
I thank you in advace..

I am not aware of any particular problem when the log files are accessed through the network.
The message that you get says that the LogFile parameter is not defined in your AWStats config file. Did you double-check that the LogFile parameter is present in the config file ? If yes, please paste the line here.
Alternately, you can try the "-logfile=…" option when running the AWStats update command.

If the LogFile parameter is not specified in the AWStats config file and if you do not specify it in the AWStats update command line, there is no way for AWStats to know where it can find the log file. So, yes, there is something wrong with your config file.
As you initially had a working version of the config file, I suggest that you create a new config file inspired from the working one, but specifying another path for LogFile. It is likely that you need to change SiteDomain and HostAliases too.

sorry about that. the logFile Parameter was as follows :
logFile=”\\\\192.168.51.26\\W3SVC1578050908\\ex081104.log“
reffering to the log file via the network still no luck..
created a new config file modified it as follows..
SiteDomain=”epweb-sharepoin”
HostAliases=”epweb-sharepoin www.epweb-sharepoin 192.168.51.26″
please note I changed the ”epweb-sharepoin www.epweb-sharepoin 127.0.0.1 localhost to the above hostaliases in red..
dont as me why ? I was trying anything that might work..
Regads,
Massivem

I guess that the problem is coming from the use of \\\\192.168.51.26. I would replace it by a drive letter and try again.

Thanks !
I changed the ip address to a network drive..!
LogFile=”L:/ex081104.log”
then I noticed that I was still facing the same error but promising this time!!
so I browsed to the folder that I had shared for my logs ! I added permission for anonymous user.. !
It worked when I used cmd line “-logfile=”L:\\ex081104.log”
Thanks

I am afraid this does not make sense.
AWStats does not care about who is clicking the update button. You should get exactly the same result when you use the update button when browsing on the server and when browsing on another computer.

What you got can be related to the use of the cache of your browser. Empty the cache of the browser to solve the problem. How to empty the cache of the browser is explained here.

I made a mistake on my last response …I meant : I cannot use the update button to update my stats however they are updatable when using cmd line..& refreshing the page afterwards!

It sounds like a permission issue. The "user" executing awstats.pl is not the same from the command line interface and from the browser. For security reasons, the "web user" gets a very low permission level.
You most probably need to adjust the permissions so that the "web user" can access the L: drive and specifically the L:/ex081104.log file.
