I recently installed awstats 7.3, but I'm having trouble viewing reports through its web interface. The web interface shows "Never updated" and all the data is empty and/or zeros. However, I am able to generate static reports with valid data using the awstats_buildstaticpages.pl command.
Output from an update run looks like:
$ sudo /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=www.mysite.com -configdir=/etc/awstats/
Create/Update database for config "/etc/awstats/awstats.www.mysite.com.conf" by AWStats version 7.3 (build 20140126)

- AWStats is in
/usr/local/awstats(withtoolsandwwwrootdirectories inside). - The configuration file is in
/etc/awstats/awstats.www.mysite.com.conf - The
DirDatais/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/stats-db. It contains two data files that look as expected (for this month and last). I changed this from/var/lib/awstatsto be sure it was readable by the webserver user (and I verified that it is, by making the data files temporarily accessible via web browser). - There are log entries from several virtual hosts in the log file, but the
SiteDomain="www.mysite.com"and theHostAliases="mysite.com www.mysite.com 127.0.0.1 localhost" - This is running on a RHEL server, and SELinux is not enforcing.
Oddly enough, the awstats_buildstaticpages.pl command will generate reports that contain all the expected data. It's just the web interface that's broken.
It seems related to this question, but there's no accepted solution there (and the suggestions didn't help either).
I've checked everything I can think of here, shy of diving into the perl code. Any ideas?
