awstats not automatically updating

[digiSal]

my awstats quit updating itself on the fifth of october, it updated by itself fine from the first, but now i have to manually update it via the update now button.

how can i fix this?

It would help us help you if we knew how you had it set up to run automatically - what does your crontab look like? Do you have any errors in awstats.log?

my crontab looks like so:

45 1 * * * /www/d/digisal/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=digisal.com -update

and i do not have an awstats.log..

i am using awstats 5.9

thanks..

Try adding this


>>/www/d/digisal/logs/cronaw.log 2>>/www/d/digisal/logs/cronaw.err

to the end of your crontab line (all on one line). This should create log files to help you troubleshoot the crontab problem.

You should also have at least 2 carriage returns (2 blank lines) after the end of the line.

this is the error in my log

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

when i first setup awstats it would not work with awstats.digisal.com.conf, i would get an error that it was looking for awstats.www.digisal.com.conf so i renamed the file to reflect the error and it worked.

i guess i will rename it back? but it did work automatically for a few days.

You can also just name your config file awstats.conf as that is the default name that it will search for if no other is found.
