AWstats setup on tinysofa

Hi guys
I've downloaded the AWstats file
and installed it on a tinysofa server

install went well, i followed the screen notes and added my httpd path etc etc when asked

However when trying to view the page i get the following error
http://192.168.0.28:81/awstats/awsta...nfig=localhost

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /awstats/awstats.pl on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any one tell me whats going on..

TT

In the directory where you have installed AWStats, can you execute (cgi) scripts? And does the user the webserver runs as have read and execute permission on the scriptfile itself?

I dont know if this is right, I'm doing all this on a test machine before i go live to my server.

Code:

localhost /usr/local# cd awstats/

root@localhost /usr/local/awstats# ls

You don't have permission to access /awstats/awstats.pl on this server.

P.S OS is TinySofa

I had the same problem and the solution was to move awstats directory from /usr/local to another one (ie: /opt), of course I had to change all the lines in the htttpd.conf file which referred to the old path:

Alias /awstatsclasses "/opt/awstats/wwwroot/classes/"
Alias /awstatscss "/opt/awstats/wwwroot/css/"
Alias /awstatsicons "/opt/awstats/wwwroot/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/opt/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "/opt/awstats/wwwroot">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Pay attention to the following lines in the /etc/awstats/awstats.hostname.conf file, they have wrong values when the file is created by the configuration script. They have to be based on the aliases stated in httpd.conf, so the correct values are:
DirData="../data"
DirCgi="/awstats"
DirIcons="/awstatsicons"
