Thanks for acknowledging. Nothing really changes except we default to apache2 instead of apache. Lighttpd and other should work the same as before.

I've commited the patch anyway, since pointing at non-existant logfiles isn't any better then pointing at those you don't have permission to read. We'll have to figure out how to solve the permissions problem. Running the cronjob as root would be quick and dirty, but I really want to avoid that. Using debconf to ask the user and configure logfiles to be world-readable could be an option, but I'd want to avoid that too as it's kind of like asking "would you want awstats to actually work?" which is kind of a dumb question. Adding an awstats user which is member of group adm seems best, but I'll have to read up on exactly what being an adm member gives you access to and I guess this would break the (default disabled?) config option of being able to trigger an "update now" from the web. I guess we should ask the apache2 team what they think is the best way. OTOH, it might be better to just ship now. We're not worse off then before, and it would be nice to have that RC bug closed. -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
