Hello Bryan,

Perhaps a silly question but is your web (apache?) server up and running as the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" message appears even when attempting to access your website? i.e. www.centens.com or is the URL a slight variation of this...?

As a starting point check your log files: Regards,

Rawcous!

thanks reply ,

the apache is up and running ,

Hello Bryan,

I'm not sure about anyone else here but your website is not publicly accessible...

Can you access it internally directly via the server itself? For example via the server's web browser if you type assuming that the apache web service is correctly up & running, and that your file is configured correctly then does it serve web pages?

Have you correctly setup your DNS entries via a DNS hoster because when I attempt to perform a NameServer lookup on centens.com I get a blank response - i.e. - a quick glance via a domain registrar proves the domain name at least has been purchased / registered:https://www.123-reg.co.uk/order/doma...domain=centens

Multiple lookups on the domain:

http://www.ip-whois-lookup.com/looku...x=0&submit.y=0

http://whois.domaintools.com/centens.com

So what's the deal Bryan?

Regards,

Rawcous

centens.com has no A record

thanks reply,

I tried to use IP address instead of http://localhost , but it still not work, I think it is not related to DNS

the awstats install docs are well VERY well documented on the site

the awstats config file is VERY well documented
the apache httpd.conf is VERY VERY well documented


the icon under your name says you are using Microsoft Windows 7
( this is NOT a linux operating system )
L - Linux
A - Apache
M - MarieaDB ( was mysql)
P - Php

so

what OS is apache running on ?
how did you install and set up Apache ?
how did you install and set up PERL in apache and the OS for awstats to use ?
How did you install and configure Awstats ?

thanks reply ,

Error: Couldn't open config file "awstats.centens.com.conf" nor "awstats.conf". Please read the documentation for directories where the configuration file should be located.

- Did you use the correct URL ?
Example: http://localhost/awstats/awstats.pl?config=mysite
Example: http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=mysite
- Did you create your config file 'awstats.centens.com.conf' ?
If not, you can run "awstats_configure.pl" from command line, or create it manually.

Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).
