I did the entire install process. Now when i go to the directory I get this error:

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

Setup (Config file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
See AWStats documentation in 'docs' directory for informations on how to setup awstats.

Plz help, I need my stats.

I see a comma before /etc in the paths - where is that coming from?

Did you put things under etc? That's not typical - it should go in cgi-bin, or a subfolder of that. But I suppse etc would work...

Where did you install awstats and what URL are you using to try to run it?

I had this problem too.

If your config file is called "awstats.undergroundmac.com.conf" you will need to access your stats at http://undergroundmac.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl, not http://www.undergroundmac.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl as awstats appears to use the requested hostname to determine the config file.

Worked for me :)

My error had the commas in too, and the same paths so they're all correct.

Just make sure too that the permission of awstats.pl are 755.

Is your conf file in etc or in the cgi-bin?

If it's in etc, try moving it to the cgi-bin and if that doesn't do the trick, try renaming the conf file to awstats.conf instead of awstats.undergroundmac.com.conf

The http://undergroundmac.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl URL works for me. The above link had a , (comma) at the end, so may not have worked by clicking on it.

I ran into the same problem you did and removing the www. from the URL worked.
