Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-23 14:29:24 UTC
Right now aswstats 6.5 forces net-www/apache as a dependency, but works as a charm when using it with lighttpd.
Comment 1 Preston hunt 2006-05-13 23:45:29 UTC
I agree with this bug.  I am running lighttpd on my server, I know awstats would work fine with it, but when I try to emerge it, it tries to install apache.  Recommend to change ebuild to require any web server, not just apache.

hhm, AFAICT from the webpage (http://awstats.sf.net) you can log email and ftp data as well... perhaps it should not depend on any specific server software
Comment 3 Luca Longinotti (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-15 09:18:55 UTC
This was fixed in 6.5-r2 and 6.6, the changes should hit the mirrors in a couple of hours. The ebuild now uses apache/apache2 USE flags to determine if you want Apache support directly (it anyway only influences the DEPENDs and the default example logpath), otherwise (if you don't set the USE flags), it won't depend on any (web)server and it will set the default logpath in the example config to /var/log/awstats_log.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
