Topic: Awstats cron error

[bloodshoteye]

Hi all,

For some time now I've been receiving this cron error - I've delayed resolution till now as awstat reports have not been essential till now.

/bin/bash: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl: No such file or directory

Now /etc/awstats/awstats.localhost.localdomain contains the following:

DirData="/var/www/awstats"
DirCgi="/awstats"

And /etc/cron.hourly/00awstats-<server_name_removed>-lan the following:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f /var/log/httpd/access_log ] ; then
   exec /usr/bin/awstats_updateall.pl now       -confdir="/etc"       -awstatsprog="/var/www/awstats/awstats.pl" >/dev/null
fi
exit 0

I can't figure out why cron is looking in /../cgi-bin/ for awstats.pl
Am I missing something (other than a bit of grey matter ) ?

how did you install awstats?

nenonano,

A search of .bash_history shows:

wget -c wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/awstats/awstats-6.7-1.noarch.rpm
/usr/bin/yum -y localinstall awstats-6.7-1.noarch.rpm

Should I uninstall that and go for the contribs version?:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-awstats

[Stefano]

yes

Ciao
Stefano

nenonano, apologies for long absence.

Should I uninstall that and go for the contribs version?:

I did that Plus reconfigure, etc. Also enabled awstats in the sme panel.

But I still get these errors - any ideas?:

/bin/bash: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl: No such file or directory

I looked and, of course, there is no file there.

BTW, cron.hourly is the only cron that has an awstats entry:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f /var/log/httpd/access_log ] ; then
exec /usr/bin/awstats_updateall.pl now -confdir="/etc" -awstatsprog="/var/www/awstats/awstats.pl" >/dev/null
fi
exit 0

I looked and awstats.pl is there.

I fix mine... by hand... with no respect to templates till now:
change on cron the path of

Code: [Select]

/bin/bash: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.plto

Code: [Select]

/var/www/awstats.pl

and in file

Code: [Select]

/home/e-smith/awstats/qmail-preprocessor.sh this:
/bin/cat $SRC /var/log/qmail/current | /usr/local/bin/tai64nlocal | /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/maillogconvert.pl standard | /bin/grep -v ' alias-localdelivery-'


I hope this thread survive long enough to someone find out why it´s using wrong path.

where does that file come from?
what's the output of

Code: [Select]

rpm -qf /home/e-smith/awstats/qmail-preprocessor.sh
?

I think I installed AWStats and later awstats-qmail
get a problem, remove awstats, reinstall awstast using yum command from wiki, reinstall awstats-qmail as per wiki page.

what cron are you talking about?

I found one line at crontab file...not sure from where it came :$

BTW: I´m still getting error messages:

/usr/bin/test: too many arguments
ARGH!

- remove awstats ad install smeserver-awstats contrib: this should solve the first issue
- the wrong path in mweinber script is due to the fact he was using SF awstats rpm. I will contact him..

[Elliott]

So I am having the same error come up after the most recent updates. I see the same

/bin/bash: /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl: No such file or directory

Come up every hour.

I uninstalled the manual AWSTATS rpm that I had installed and then I installed the contribs version ala:

    yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-awstats

Yet the errors continue. What was the solution for this scenario?

[Stefano]

re-read carefully this message, all you need is there

[Elliott]

I believe that I have done what that message is indicating. I say I believe because I think I understand what he is saying to do. What I did was edit /etc/cron.hourly/00awstats as indicated.

I also edited /home/e-smith/awstats/qmail-preprocessor.sh and replaced what was in there with what is in boldface in the message you are referring to.

I am still getting the messages every hour. Does this require a reboot or the restarting of any services?

Thanks,
E

try to restart crond

Code: [Select]

service crond restart


[Elliott]

I have 2 SME's both with this issue. One, I restated cron. The other I fully rebooted.

Both are still sending the error.

Anything else to try?
