    I just saw this scroll across the logfiles. Is this something new?

      I just saw something similar... looks like someone has an automated scanner at work.

      After trying this, all I kept getting was 404 errors.

      Any ideas? and i followed what you said.

        Which file is not found?
        If you don't know look it up in awstats or in your server's error log file.

      Just a quick note to anyone struggling with this issue. After making the changes shown above, you need to type http://www.yoursite.com/awstats/mystats/awstats.pl?config=yoursite.com
      to view the stats (not http://www.yoursite.com/awstats/awstats.pl?config=yoursite.com)

      Looks like it.

      Use .htaccess for your awstats directory.

      Search google for FunWebProducts.

        Please read e.g.:

        http://help.bnsi.net/htpasswd/htpasswd.php

        Create a directory for awstats files in cgi-bin, e.g. 'mystats'.
        Place all awstats files except awredir.pl in this directory.
        Then write .htaccess file for this new directory.

        Content could look somewhat like:

        AuthName "MyStats"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile /the/path/to/your/cgi-bin/mystats/.htpasswd
        require valid-user

        Then write .htpasswd file

        contents:
        yourusername:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

        for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx get an ecrypted password = search google for htpasswd generator.
        Or go here:
        http://mirage.golden.net/generator/

        Place both files in the mystats directory.

        Do not forget to change your awstats.xyz.conf:

        DirCgi="/cgi-bin/mystats"

        AllowAccessFromWebToAuthenticatedUsersOnly=1

        AllowAccessFromWebToFollowingAuthenticatedUsers="yourusername"

        Now it should work.

        If it doesn't, delete .htaccess on your server and write again.
