Powweb worked on my cron jobs and edited my crontab to run at a different time and edited my .conf file to run stats on access_log as opposed to access_log.1 for troubleshooting purposes.

I've changed them back, crontab will run again tomorrow morning. I've changed the .conf file back to access_log.1 and ran manually from my site to get yesterdays stats. It's still only showing 1 visitor for all of yesterday. I downloaded access_log.1 and it shows hundreds of visitors for the 19th.

Any ideas why it's not being picked up when ran manually?

Thanks!

Very frustrating! I changed the .conf file to "access_log" and ran stats manually and it is picking up my stats live without a hitch - so I know all is working well.

Only when I change it to access_log.1 does it not pick up any data.

It's showing 1 visitor for the 19th even though access_log.1 is a 12meg file filled with IP address's accessing my site on the 19th.

I know if it process's records it won't do them again, but that's not the case here. Can anyone think of any other reason why they wouldn't be picked up when it looks at access_log.1?

Deleted suggested data from my awstats112003.domain.com.txt file and reran awstats again, this time it recreated the entire stats for yesterday and all is included now. Problem solved!

Thanks for all the suggestions! ;)
