I am using Debian Lenny and installed awstats. Now by default the awstats creates a the following file:
debian:~# cat /etc/cron.d/awstats 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * www-data [ -x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -a -f /etc/awstats/awstats.conf -a -r /var/log/apache2/access.log ] && /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mydomain -update>/dev/null The Syslog shows that the above job is being executed but my webpage stats (http://mydomain/awstats/awstats.pl) do NOT get updated. However if I change the awstats cron job to be executed by "root" like this: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -a -f /etc/awstats/awstats.conf -a -r /var/log/apache2/access.log ] && /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=mydomain -update >/dev/null it gets executed every 10 mins and the webpage stats gets updated. Based on /usr/share/doc/awstats/README.Debian, I have already given read permission for "others" user to access.log: debian:~# ls -l /var/log/apache2/access.log -rwr-r- 1 root adm 6671031 2009-10-26 18:00 /var/log/apache2/access.log Not sure what am I missing?
