I've just installed awstats on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS VPS.
So I configured everything and ran:
Code:
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=[my domain name here] -update
This resulted in this output:

(That last line repeated many more times ...)
I noticed the process spawned many child processes and the server load went trough the roof after a while. Eventually the mysql server died. At that point I decided I had been more than reasonable, so I did killall on the awstats.pl processes.
I had been following the instructions here:

What could have gone wrong? Is there a way to make it work without consuming all my memory? (A whooping 1GB.)
awstats ate all my memory!
