The high-level problem I'm trying to solve is to get web server log statistics out of Z2.log so I can analyze them for my thesis.
What lead you to choose AWStats over the other log analysis software that is available? I was choosing between it and Webalizer and when I tried to download Webalizer their server was down so I just went with AWStats since it seemed they were both good.
Well, the problem is there pretty loud and clear ;-) You need to find out why AWStats can't find its config file...
Ok - awstats.cidac1.sys.virginia.edu.conf is in the cgi-bin directory with awstats.pl
I'm afraid I know nothing about AWStats so can't tell you if that's correct or not. What ways are there to get help for AWStats?
I think I followed the setup instructions correctly (putting the cgi-bin and icon directories in my Zope root directory and changing the settings in awstats.cidac1.sys.virginia.edu.conf, will check them again.
Are you using Apache in front of Zope? If not, maybe you should consider it and then run AWStats as a CGI under Apache rather than trying torun it as a CGI under Zope... The error in my setup is that I renamed awstats.model.conf to awstats.cidac1.sys.virginia.edu.conf.conf by mistake, and that's why the file couldn't be read. Thanks for your help! Kristina
