If you read "leave awstats.conf alone", clearly that means not modifying it. It says clearly to put server settings in .local and site settings in the other files.

Or because some day I chosen that one to be the main host (only because you are asking me to do such a thing, since what I have been asking you is NOT TO MAKE THAT CHOICE), and then requirements change. >> So, the only way to do this, is to copy *all* the settings in every >> file, and not include awstats.conf at all. > > As I said - you have at least one another option.

In any case, you are harming Debian. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
