Hello,

Trying to check statistics with awstats tonight and found out that it is not updating.  error message at the top of the web page says "Never updated (See 'Build/Update' on awstats_setup.html page)",  Reading through the forum seems to indicate an issue with the cron job, which are listed below.  All other cron jobs are running without issue.  I could not find anything log file wise specific to the cronjob not running.

# iRedMail: update Awstats statistics for web hourly
1   */1   *   *   *   /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=web >/dev/null

# iRedMail: update Awstats statistics for smtp hourly
1   */1   *   *   *   /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=smtp >/dev/null

Also as an aside, it seems to be only setup for 1 of my mail domains, how would i get it to recognize all of my domains?

Re: awstats not updating ever since install

Any error if you run these 2 commands manually on console? What's the full output?

Re: awstats not updating ever since install

running /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=web >/dev/null provides no output in the terminal screen, but also no errors.

running /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=smtp >/dev/null also provides no output or errors on the terminal.

Looking at the awstats webpage, there is also no changes being shown there.

Re: awstats not updating ever since install

Assuming awstats was installed correctly, make sure that the log file specified in /etc/awstats/awstats.web.conf is pointing to your actual log file. Default for apache is /var/log/httpd/access_log. If that's empty, then check /etc/httpd/conf.d for the website you want to be tracking stats for and find where the information is actually being logged.

Re: awstats not updating ever since install

the logfile specified in /etc/awstats/awstats.web.conf is pointing to /var/log/apache2/access.log

and the logfile specified in /etc/awstats/awstats.smtp.conf is point at LogFile="perl /usr/share/doc/awstats/examples/maillogconvert.pl standard < /var/log/mail.log |"

both of these log files exist.  apache access log is owned by root /adm with rw -r permissions and the mail log is owned by syslog / adm with rw -r permissions

there is also an awstats.conf.2017.05.30.15.20.59 file that appears to be configured for reading apache logs

I cant tell if that did anything or not though, refreshing the web page (f5 key) didn't show any changes

Thanks
