webalizer 403 Forbidden

[SamTzu]

Plaahhh...

It's obvious in hindsight.
/etc/webalizer/webalizer.conf

Change the values for incremental and hostname if you suffer from this problem.

Incremental yes

# IncrementalName allows you to specify the filename for saving the
# incremental data in. It is similar to the HistoryName option where the
# name is relative to the specified output directory, unless an absolute
# filename is specified. The default is a file named "webalizer.current"
# kept in the normal output directory. If you don't specify "Incremental"
# as 'yes' then this option has no meaning.

#IncrementalName webalizer.current

# ReportTitle is the text to display as the title. The hostname
# (unless blank) is appended to the end of this string (seperated with
# a space) to generate the final full title string.
# Default is (for english) "Usage Statistics for".

ReportTitle Usage statistics for

# HostName defines the hostname for the report. This is used in
# the title, and is prepended to the URL table items. This allows
# clicking on URL's in the report to go to the proper location in
# the event you are running the report on a 'virtual' web server,
# or for a server different than the one the report resides on.
# If not specified here, or on the command line, webalizer will
# try to get the hostname via a uname system call. If that fails,
# it will default to "localhost".

HostName server47

If you have problems with stats make sure that...

1) You have created a password for the site on ISPConfig3
(User is admin) If this dont work then you get 500 error.
(Check the .htpasswd_stats file.)

2) If you only can see 1 days worth of data make sure to edit /etc/webalizer/webalizer.conf
Incremental yes

3) If you have moved your site from ISPConfig2 server make sure that the web/stats/ folder does not contain any old .ht**** files.

4) If you have custom .htaccess file on your /web/ root try to rename it and see if the stats start to work.

Hello,

I installed ISPConfig a few days ago onto Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit and getting on fine with it after a few operator errors.

I've had the same problem with getting webalizer stats being produced just as previous writers mentioned.

I did notice in the ISPConfig cron.log that GEOip.dat could not be found at /usr/share/geoip so the ISPConfig cron.daily did not run properly. Seems this was not installed so I installed it with apt-get install geoip-database.

I ran the cron.daily script and my webalizer files are in the /stats folder now and I can access them as I should.

Sorry this is a few months late but I read through the forums and didn't see this mentioned as a possible solution.

My problem is even more weired ..

my /stats folder has ALL the files however I get 403 error when accessing them through the browser.

And funny thing is if I rename any of those files to .php then I can see its contents fine, seeming to me that .html is not working on my /stats/ folder ...

in the logs i have:

tail -f /var/www/clients/client1/web1/log/error.log

2012/11/05 08:32:54 [error] 2333#0: *3820 open() "/var/www/clients/client1/web1/.htpasswd_stats" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 41.190.204.67, server: domain.net, request: "GET /stats/ HTTP/1.1", host: "www.domain.net"

[abdi]

OK, indeed that missing file is the root cause of all problems since when I disable it in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

" auth_basic_user_file /var/www/clients/client1/web1/.htpasswd_stats;" everything works fine.

However if I try to manually create it with:

# touch /var/www/clients/client1/web1/.htpasswd_stats
touch: cannot touch `/var/www/clients/client1/web1/.htpasswd_stats': Permission denied

I get the above, implying my server is unable to create it and that explains why ALL sites can't show /stats/

Till any advice on why my system can't create that file in that path? Thanks

Till any advice on why my system can't create that file in that path? Thanks

The directory is protected to ensure that no user can create files there.

I guess you use the ispconfig beta and not a release version as the beta has a known bug in the stats password protection function which has already been fixed in svn.

[abdi]

Till, do kindly share with me the Beta SVN URL and or installation instructions ...Thanks

Till should I use this: svn://svn.ispconfig.org/ispconfig3/trunk/ ?

Edit: I used the above SVN and indeed the /stats/ issue is now resolved. Thanks ...

Till should I use this: svn://svn.ispconfig.org/ispconfig3/trunk/ ?

The stable branch which contains the fixes for ispconfig 3.0.5 is:

svn://svn.ispconfig.org/ispconfig3/branches/ispconfig-3.0.5

Is there a way to force the creation of stats or do i realy have to wait 24 hours for it to happen automaticly?
