Time to move it back again now that the permissions are sorted out. If you remember we moved it out of the way.

#AWSTATS INSTALL UPDATE#

To maintain and gather the stats on a frequent and regular basis you will need a cron job to run the awstats update script. Now when the log file is rotated and then recreate it will be readable by www-data. 🙂 To fix that we need to amend the config for the Apache2 log files.įind the line that starts with the key word create and amend the group permission as shown below Sudo chgrp This will only work until the log file is rotated. On Ubuntu this will be file and the directory it is in. They need to be accessible by the user that runs the cronjob, see below, and the user that runs the web service. The permissions are wrong on the Apache2 access.log file for awstats to collect data. This will stop the updates from running and the emails saying the the update failed. We will need it later so do not delete it. The first two steps are move the cronfile out of the way. Which all sounds a bit complex but takes a few commands 🙂 We therefore, need to stop the crontab job, delete and existing data, run the update and put the crontab job back again. You will not be able to add any initial data as it will have been marked as processed. It fails because (I would have thought the Ubuntu maintainers would have noticed that). This would have failed and created an empty database. Remove Any Existing Dataīy the time you get here you could find that the crontab job has already run.
