    Hi

    I have installed AWStats onto a clients webspace so that they can access their stats without having access to CPanel. The configuration seems to work fine and the stats are correctly updated when updating via the browser link.

    I want to update the stats using a cron job rather than give the client the opportunity to repeatedly update via the browser.

    Can anyone help me with the cron job command syntax I should use for this?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks. I tried it but it didn't work, nothing happened.

    Any suggestions?

    Did it email you the standard output? If so, what did it say? If not, then the cronjob didn't run.

    I get the following error message in the email:

    "Error: AWStats database directory defined in config file by 'DirData' parameter (../webstats) does not exist or is not writable."

    The files in this folder update fine when using the browser link. Do I need different permissions when using the cron job?

    It works now, although I'm not sure why it didn't before....

    I changed 'DirData' parameter from ../webstats to /webstats and it was ok.

    The problem I was originally having was because I didn't precede the command with perl. So thanks for your help with that.


    :)
