Cause
Incorrect AWstats paths are set in the /etc/psa/psa.conf file. For example:
# grep AWSTATS /etc/psa/psa.conf
AWSTATS_ETC_D /etc/awstats
AWSTATS_BIN_D /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin
AWSTATS_TOOLS_D /usr/share/awstats/tools
AWSTATS_DOC_D /var/www/html/awstats
Resolution
Set the correct paths in the configuration file as follows:
- Connect to the server via ssh
- Open
/etc/psa/psa.conffile with a text editor - Reset all
AWSTATSpaths in this file to their default values:# grep AWSTATS /etc/psa/psa.conf
AWSTATS_ETC_D /etc/awstats
AWSTATS_BIN_D /var/www/cgi-bin/awstats
AWSTATS_TOOLS_D /usr/share/awstats
AWSTATS_DOC_D /var/www/html/awstats

What about the huge log file? Specifically 'access_ssl_log.webstat', can this be deleted after correcting these paths?
