awstats - domain config file overwrittten each night

[fikse]

I've modified one domain's awstats config file in:

/home/domain/tmp/awstats/awstats.domain.conf

each morning whm/cpanel overrites it with a new copy, and my modifications are gone...

how can I stop this from happening for just this one domain?

thanks....

Here is the solution I use. Is there is a better way around this?

- edit the main template at /usr/local/cpanel/etc/awstats.conf
- add the following to the very last line of the file:

Include "%AWSTATSDIR%custom.txt"

Next time stats are run and /tmp/awstats/awstats.domainname.com.conf is recreated, it will have the "include" line at the end (which will translate to /tmp/awstats/custom.txt)

Any directives in your include file take precedence over values in the conf file. One note: you'll need to create a custom.txt file in all /tmp/awstats/ directories (even if blank) otherwise an error occurs when viewing stats for a particular domain.
