Awstats : update problem

i got the problem while doing update for Awastats (web log analyzer)

Quote:

root@www:/var/log/apache2# /usr/local/awstats/tools/awstats_updateall.pl now
Running '"/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl" -update -config=www.ilpkb.gov.my -configdir="/etc/awstats"' to update config www.ilpkb.gov.my
Update for config "/etc/awstats/awstats.www.ilpkb.gov.my.conf"
With data in log file "/var/log/apache2/access_log"...
Phase 1 : First bypass old records, searching new record...
Searching new records from beginning of log file...
AWStats did not find any valid log lines that match your LogFormat parameter, in the 50th first non commented lines read of your log.
Your log file /var/log/apache2/access_log must have a bad format or LogFormat parameter setup does not match this format.
Your AWStats LogFormat parameter is:
1
This means each line in your web server log file need to have "combined log format" like this:
111.22.33.44 - - [10/Jan/2001:02:14:14 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1234 "http://www.fromserver.com/from.htm" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"
And this is an example of records AWStats found in your log file (the record number 50 in your log):
172.16.0.1 - - [01/Jan/2006:10:11:59 +0800] "GET /v5/bm/templates/247portal-b-blue/images/modul.jpg HTTP/1.0" 304 -
Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.www.ilpkb.gov.my.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong.
Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory).

anyone got the same problem like this?

If you updated and then started receiving this, then it could be a botched update. If the updates are not security updates try reverting to a previous version.

Also, was it really necessary to duplicate your posts?

this is not an update to a new version or security or whatever. actually this is statistics update for Awstats. Awastats web analyzer need to do update (manual or schedule) before you got the output (from log file).
