Had quite a bit of AWStats for one day. The AWStats LogFormat docs state that the following log line:

[24/Sep/2009:17:15:12 -0500] x.x.x.x UNKNOWN xxxtemp "STOR recxxx.zip" 226 5164965

should be matched by the following LogFormat:

LogFormat="%time1 %host %other %logname %methodurlnoprot %code %bytesd"

that is, if the LogSeperator is set to a single space (" "). But somehow it doesnt match, and I get a AWStats did not find any valid log lines that match your LogFormat parameter error every time. Has anyone had experience with this?

The format looks correct. Are you sure those are really spaces? How are you running AWstats? (as a cgi or from the cli) –  txyoji Sep 25 '09 at 0:48
As a script, "awstats_update.pl now". They are spaces indeed, put them there myself multiple times with vim! :/ –  krypticmind Sep 25 '09 at 3:47
