I'm running a web server on a OS X 10.10.5 machine with Server.app 5.0.15 (that includes a web proxy that, apparently, is impossible to turn off). On this machine, I analyze the logs using awstats 7.3.
Everything was working fineuntil I upgraded to Server 5 at which point Apple (silently) introduced the web proxy. After that, my normal access log files only had 127.0.0.1 as client, which of course is correct. So I switched awstats to look at the “service_proxy_access.log” instead.
This doesn't seem to work. It took we a while to see this: apparently things stopped working on March 21 and I just recently discovered.
Anyhow: the script seems to be working, but it only updates “awstats032016.website.txt” and no statistics after that is entered. Running “./awstats.pl -update -config=website -debug=5” tells me that is:
• is looking at the correct log file
• that all the lines are correct
• those lines are from today
It still seems stuck on 032016. From the debug output:

Has this anything to do with the fact that the log file, “service_proxy_access.log”, only consists of lines from today? Does awstats assume that the log file is full of lines from the last time it considers things to be ok (March 2016)?
I also tried to start all over but then I get nothing: zero visits!
Anyone knows anything about this?
