AWStats on Apache vhost. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I'm trying to install AWStats on a RH ES4 machine.

I've configured my Apache files but I get a 404 so I was hoping you guys could help me out

My AWStats files exist in /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot
My webserver document root is /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpsdocs

It's a virual host so I edited this file:

Code:

/var/www/vhosts/example.org/conf/httpd.include

and added the following:

Code:

<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:443>
    ServerName www.example.org
    ServerAlias example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpsdocs
    ServerAdmin admin@example.org
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 111.111.111.111:80>
    ServerName www.example.org
    ServerAlias example.org
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/example.org/httpdocs
    ServerAdmin admin@example.org
</VirtualHost>

in the hopes that this URL:

Code:

http://example.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=example.org

or

Code:

https://example.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=example.org

(just using HTTPS there) will both show me the AWStats UI.

I also have this in my httpd.conf:

Code:

#
# Directives to allow use of AWStats as a CGI
#
Alias /awstatsclasses "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/classes/"
Alias /awstatscss "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/css/"
Alias /awstatsicons "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/icon/"
ScriptAlias /awstats/ "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/"

#
# This is to permit URL access to scripts/files in AWStats directory.
#
<Directory "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your time

Your cgi-bin seems to map wrongly. Have you check your apache logs (check error_log)? Maybe it will tell you what error the system encountered.

that's what i thought too but my mapping is correct.

turns out the problem is that i had suexec running and since awstats was not in its docroot, it didn't permit the webuser to run it
