Need help.

Create/Update database for config “/etc/awstats/awstats.vavinchi.net.conf” by AWStats version 7.8 (build 20200416)
From data in log file “/var/log/virtualmin/vavinchi.net_access_log.1”…
Error: Couldn’t open server log file “/var/log/virtualmin/vavinchi.net_access_log.1” : Permission denied
Setup (‘/etc/awstats/awstats.vavinchi.net.conf’ file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in ‘docs’ directory).

After a long period of time it stopped working.
Any ideas?

Thank you!

Best regards, Vadym.

Hello,

Have you tried disabling and the re-enabling AWStats reporting feature in Edit Virtual Server page?

Hi Llia

No. Turning off the service AWStats did not solve this problem.

What are the permissions set to for this file compared to those set for the /home/vavinchi.net directory?

Do you use mod_php? You shouldn’t! Fix file permissions manually and get rid of mod_php.
