When I ran awstats 6.5-r1 it created several files in my output directory but it didn't create an index.html which is what you view.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install and configure awstats
2.Run awstats and move to output directory
3.there is no index.html

This bug has nothing to with bugzilla itself.

You did run exactly what command?

The command I ran was...

/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=canuckster -update

...my config file is called awstats.canuckster.conf

Well, that won't produce html files... You'd need something like

`awstats.pl -config=canuckster -output -staticlinks > index.html`

for that.

In the awstats config file, there are 2 options which says the following...

# When AWStats updates its statistics, it stores results of its analysis in
# files (AWStats database). All those files are written in the directory
# defined by the "DirData" parameter. Set this value to the directory where
# you want AWStats to save its database and working files into.
# Warning: If you want to be able to use the "AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser"
# feature (see later), you need "Write" permissions by web server user on this
# directory (and "Modify" for Windows NTFS file systems).
# Example: "/var/lib/awstats"
# Example: "../data"
# Example: "C:/awstats_data_dir"
# Default: "."          (means same directory as awstats.pl)
#
DirData="/var/www/localhost/htdocs/canuckster/awstats"


# Default index page name for your web server.
# Change : Effective for new updates only
# Example: "index.php index.html default.html"
# Default: "index.html"
#
DefaultFile="index.html"

But no index.html file is created in the directory specified. Do you know a good guide to getting awstats working on Gentoo?

Nevermind, didn't see the command entered in the previous post...

awstats.pl -config=canuckster -output -staticlinks > index.html

Its working with that.

Still not working properly, I need a good FAQ setting awstats up on Gentoo
